Very few water bottle companies will actually go to a fresh water area, *ahem* Poland spring and bottle the freshwater to go for sale. Only 1% of the world has freshwater reserves while the rest is salt water. Oh you say you were asking about how it is obtained? Companies take a boat or plane to the freshwater reserve, take some sterile plastic bottles, and sell them to the market. Some actually put chemicals and other harmful substances in the water so it isn't really freshwater.
