Some of the major brands of water are exactly the same water they use in making sodas- Aquafina for example is Pepsi water. Dasani is Coca Cola water.

A recent survey by venerable Morgan Stanley beverage analyst William Pecoriello found 16% of consumers are reducing bottled water consumption due to environmental concerns. This is up from just 5% last year. Of these, 34% are reusing their plastic water bottles more often while 23% are just going with tap water instead.
It's no wonder this trend is emerging: A recent report by the Swiss Gas and Water Association finds that bottled water has 100 times the environmental impact of tap water. The Sierra Club notes that bottled water produces 1.5 million tons of plastic waste each year -- the vast majority of which ends up in our landfills and oceans. According to two oceanographers with the British Antarctic Survey, while strolling along the shores of Spitsbergen Island up in the Arctic ocean, where mankind’s doomsday Svalbard Global Seed Vault is located, one can find a piece of plastic detritus every 15 feet or so.
