League table

The lowest-nitrate waters

227 waters with a published nitrate figure, most pristine first. The virginality league.

Nitrate is the one number in a water analysis where less is more. It tracks surface influence, farming, settlement, whatever happens above the source, so a deep confined aquifer sits near zero while a shallow one picks up its surroundings. On Mascha’s virginality scale anything at or under 1 mg/L counts as superior.

Ranked most pristine first. For scale, the EU ceiling for natural mineral water is 50 mg/L and water prepared for infants is usually held under 10. Only waters with a published figure appear here, and a zero means below the lab’s detection limit; absence means not published, never zero.
