Over 1,000 feet deep within the pristine Otakiri Valley on the North Island of New Zealand, emerges Eternal™ Natural Artesian Water, filtering naturally below the earth over 1,800 years.
These groundwater reserves have become an important source of supply. Aquifers can satisfy heavy summer demand with water stored during the winter and can smooth out the effects of wet and dry years. Regional precipitation percolating down through the soil is the source of water recharging the confined aquifers. Approximately 40% of New Zealand’s freshwater supplies are now drawn from aquifers and with over millions of years of isolation, the extent and condition of New Zealand’s freshwater ecosystems are carefully maintained to this day.
