mineral-rich waters
Naturally fortified groundwater
Waters containing high concentrations of dissolved minerals—calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, and others—absorbed from underground rock formations.
The term appears most often in contexts of natural springs, spas, and health claims: The town became famous for its mineral-rich waters.
Such waters may be consumed or bathed in, traditionally believed to have therapeutic properties.
