“…According to this, the consumption of tap water from conventional drinking water treatment (scenario 1) appeared as the most inexpensive alternative (0.95 €/m 3 ), followed by reverse osmosis at the treatment plant (scenario 2) (1.2 €/m 3 ), domestic reverse osmosis (scenario 3) (31 €/m 3 ), mineral water in PET bottles (scenario 4) (267 €/m 3 ) and mineral water in glass bottles (scenario 5) (600€/m 3 ), which was the most expensive alternative. The results are in accordance with different surveys carried out in the US, Europe and Asia, which stated that the price of bottled water can be up to 1,000 times higher than tap water (Dindarloo et al, 2015;Ferrier, 2001;Gleick, 2004).…”
