There is a little something called "The Water Cycle" it consists of evaporation, condensation and precipitation and every water molecule on the planet has gone through this process, and, artisan well or not, those water molecules came into contact with other molecules as they work their way through the cycle. Some of it is slowed down when it freezes but it still went through and is going through the cycle.

Now this is a test.

Reading Comprehension - The Water Cycle

Let me guess, you also don't believe that dinosaurs existed.

Talk about speaking from ignorance.

Ummm Your link FAILS to understake the water hundreds of feet down in the solid rock of the earth that has been there for thousands of years.

Quit the insults and try posting a link that supports your position that deep underground rivers and aquifers are the result of run off from the earth's surface. There is a cycle for aquifers and artesian well supplies. It is brought to the earth's surface, used, and then recycled as any surface water and would be in the normal flow of water's life. It merely originates from uncontaminated sources like underground rivers, aquifers, and artisian supplies. The deeper the water supply the older the source. Even water that does originate from the atmosphere and does penetrate shallow aquifers was likely generated many many years ago before acid rain and other industrial or agricultural pollution.

Bottom line:

I could care less about anyone else's water. I have lab tests that show mine is 99.99% perfect. I could care less what you say, write or think about dinosaurs or my water source.
