The origins of bottled water products can be traced back to the earliest civilizations. Well aware of water's health benefits, the Romans searched for and developed drinking water sources as they set about establishing their empire. According to legend, after crossing the Pyrenees, Hannibal, the famous general of the Carthaginian army, rested his troops and elephants at Les Bouillens in France, the location of the Perrier drinking water spring.
As people around the world continue to recognize the health benefits and convenience of bottled water, the market for these products continues to grow. From 1997 to 2005, per capita consumption of bottled water increased by 90 percent to 25.4 gallons annually per person. Bottled water now accounts for 17 percent of nonalcoholic beverage consumption.
