Question

What is water that contains a high concentration of dissolved minerals said to be?

Answer 1

Sea water contains a high proportion of dissolved ions; which are they?

You can drink a lot of bottled mineral waters, and I find the ones that taste the saltiest are the nicest. Badoit, a French sparkling mineral water, tastes quite salty; Gerolsteiner, which is avaliable in Germany is even saltier and nicer to drink. Of course, the concentrations of salts in bottled mineral waters is much, much lower than that in sea water.
