I'm not entirely sure, I've never heard of such a question. But I would think river water, because I've heard that rust or coin material have a serious effect on water witch may cause sudden stroke or death sometimes even commas after 2-4 days after drinking well water. So basicicly yes, I prefer river water would be much more safer to drink than well water. Hope I've helped.
