Is spring and still water the same?

Spring Water is the statutory name for water which comes from a single non-polluted groundwater source. Unlike natural mineral water, there is no formal recognition process required although it must still be registered with the local authority. Table Water is the trade name applied to other bottled drinking waters.

What is the difference between a fountain and a spring?
