Mineral waters are classified according to their composition: 

Acidic mineral water: These waters must have at least one gram of soluble natural carbon dioxide per liter.

Sodium sulfate mineral water: The water of these springs contains sodium sulfate as well as sodium chloride and sodium bicarbonate. Bitter spring water: The most important chemical that is present in the water of these springs and makes them taste bitter is magnesium sulfate, but in addition to magnesium sulfate, most of them also contain sodium sulfate and sodium chloride. Sodium chloride springs: In the water of these springs there is more than one gram of salts per liter and most of these salts are sodium chloride.

Ferrous water: Waters that contain more than ten milligrams of iron in solution per liter of water, because iron water decomposes quickly and their iron precipitates, they usually drink it at the same source.

Sulfur water: These waters contain free hydrogen sulfide or hydrosulfur or both (the smell of hydrogen sulfide is similar to the smell of rotten eggs) Calcareous water: These waters contain salts, most of which are calcium carbonate, magnesium acid carbonate, gypsum and carbonic anhydride. Arsenic-containing springs: These springs contain a small amount of arsenic, which has no lethal effect due to its small amount. Iodized waters
