New Delhi: Water is among the basic necessities of life. Can you imagine your life on earth without water? No, since it is indispensable for the survival, growth, and maintenance of life. According to science, the human body is composed of approximately 60 percent water, which reflects the importance of water and its role in the functioning of the body. If we talk about its importance in the functioning of the human body, water facilitates digestion, absorption, and transportation of nutrients, regulates body temperature, and supports cellular functions.
Besides its essential role in cooking, cleaning, and sustaining all forms of life on Earth — including plants and animals — water is something we often take for granted. We’re familiar with natural, free, and even paid sources of water. But do you know which is the most expensive water in the world?
Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani is the world’s most expensive bottled water. The bottle is priced at around Rs 50 lakh (approximately $60,000). What makes the water so expensive and unique is its 24-carat gold bottle and the addition of 5 grams of gold to the water itself.
The water sources are also noteworthy, being sourced from three different locations: a spring in France, a spring in Fiji, and glaciers in Iceland.
The bottle has been designed by the renowned designer Fernando Altamirano. Its name was registered in the Guinness World Records in the year 2010.
