It probably is, and it gives it some taste as well, which is why Coca Cola have to put it back in. As I said, there may (possibly) be some benefit in that trace impurities have probably been removed, but I seriously doubt whether it's worth the exhorbitant price that you have to pay for it.

I asked the teacher why, if such a small amount of water could be turned into a steady flow, why wasn't this process used in the desert.

DOH.

so thats what passes for education in lancashire is it?

Yes, but they get so much rain in Lancashire that they probably think that a desert is something that you eat at the end of dinner.

What I dislike about bottled water is the fact that it is so heavy to carry back from the shop. Luckily, someone has come up with a solution

Nice one.
IIRC, a recent survey put Swansea at the top of the rainfall league in the UK, sunny Manchester was well down the list.

And the purpose of this thread is to say that we actually don't know what we are buying when we buy bottled water (at least i think that was the purpose... Dave?)

Sigh! Why do I bother! Repeat after me 100 times. "Even the purest of pure water is full of chemicals." (Well, one, to be precise.)
