drinking lots of water will flush away the substances that form stones in the kidneys.
It is clean but not pure, our water contains things from other substances. When you are in different areas your drinking water can taste slightly different!

Chlorine. A molecule of chlorine has the ability to disproportionate in water. That is it simultaneously oxidises and reduces. Cl2 = Cl-Cl = Cl^(-) + Cl^(+) Disproportionation). Cl2 + H2O = HCl(reduced) + HClO(oxidised). At a water treatment plant, chlorine gas is bubbled through water, in order to act as a bacteriocide, so the water is drinkable/potable. Household water contains minute traces of hydrochloric acid(HCl) and hypochlorous acid(HClO). It is the hypochlorous radical 'ClO^(-)' that is found in bleach. (NaClO or Ca(ClO)2
Common substances added to drinking water to ensure its safety include chlorine for disinfection, fluoride for dental health, and sometimes aluminum sulfate or lime for water clarification. These substances help to kill harmful bacteria, prevent tooth decay, and improve water quality.
Of course, these substances are ethanol and water.

Drinking natural spring water can provide benefits such as hydration, mineral intake, and potential health benefits from the natural minerals present in the water.
Pesticides, fertilizers, heavy metals, and industrial chemicals are substances commonly found in soil that can contaminate water sources through runoff or leaching. These contaminants can pose risks to human health and the environment if they reach drinking water sources or aquatic ecosystems.
