Health should be taken care of from the ground up by everyone. Regular hydration of the body is undoubtedly the key to well-being. You can take care of yourself and your condition with pure water from natural sources. Nata water meets these needs and uses deep water from the Pleistocene, which is ideal for us and our vitality.
The Earth is quite a few years old now, and we all know it has undergone many changes throughout its existence. The most recent times are just a droplet in the ocean of its history. We live in an era called the Quaternary, divided into the Pleistocene and the Holocene. The first epoch lasted about a million years and involved great glaciations. These represent the movement of vast masses of ice that carry massive amounts of rock behind them. We are currently living in the Holocene, which has lasted for about 15 000 years.
The Pleistocene ice age is particularly significant to us, as it is when groundwater was formed, which is used for Nata products today.
How is life-giving water formed?
Pleistocene water was created during the glacial melt and had to travel a long way to reach our bottles. Preparing the water for production is a time-consuming and complex process.
Let’s start with the fact that groundwater is found in sand and gravel deposits between beds of glacial till. The aquifers can be at different depths and differ in structure or distribution.
We already know where the deep water is. Then comes the question of what needs to happen for it to be mineralized and drinkable. After all, as with precipitation, it does not have these properties from the outset. However, by flowing through more rocks and sediments, the water becomes crystal-clear and mineralizes.
Groundwater’s speed of movement is deficient. This is because the rate of filtration is variable, and the path of the water is complex and dependent on the impermeable layers encountered along the way, e.g., rocks. An analogy could be made between this process and strolling through a forest with friends. These people can’t walk in a compact formation and a straight line. They have to avoid the various obstacles they encounter on their way, such as trees or bushes, and each group member takes a different route. A straight-line walk through the forest would be longer than this distance.
At this point someone might also say that a resource that is hundreds of thousands of years old must eventually run out. At Pleistocene levels, however, the water is part of nature’s water circulation system, a continuous and closed cycle. Water from the seas and oceans, as well as surface water, evaporates into the atmosphere and then returns to the land and oceans in the form of precipitation. This process makes groundwater resources renewable.
The deeper, the healthier. Is it?
Of course, in addition to the Pleistocene waters, there are levels formed in Poland in earlier eras. Some of these date back to the Tertiary, a period that began more than 20 million years ago. At this level, the waters mainly occur locally and do not migrate or move very slowly over short distances. Unlike waters of the Pleistocene, they do not experience natural filtration processes. Furthermore, they are in contact with deeper saline waters. They also contain lignite dust. Precipitation does not reach them, which reduces their abundance. There is too much fluoride in tertiary waters, which cannot be removed.
The waters of the Cretaceous era, which began about 145 million years ago, also lack natural filtration processes. It is unfit to use these resources for drinking because they come into contact with water containing high fluoride and chloride levels.
The Pleistocene aquifers are an inexhaustible source of high-quality drinking water. As you can see – not all the best comes from the mountains. Poland has other rich sources of clean water, and it does not have to flow directly from a spring at the top to be crystal-clear. Natural treasures can also be found in the lowlands of our country. It is the water of Nata that is our treasure.
What you need to know about Nata Springs
The Nata water intake is located in the Kashubian Lake District, in the protection zone of the Radunia River. It draws water from deposits that formed 100,000 – 200,000 years ago. Due to its utterly pollution-free state, the Pleistocene is considered the most favorable hydrological period.
We can openly say that the process of water formation takes place in a completely natural environment. Hence, the areas where the Nata water intake is located are protected, and there are no sites or industrial plants that could negatively affect water quality.
All these conditions contribute to the fact that the quality of our water is very high and is characterized by a balanced physic-chemical composition. It is also worth noting that there are few places in the Pomeranian Voivodeship where such beneficial groundwater occurs. The primary influence on the quality of Nata water, which you will find on store shelves – is the premises of our plant, the exemplary technical condition of the intake, and the top-notch equipment used for water confectioning.
