Ty Nant

WaterGlam own acquisition

TY NANT natural mineral water has unique characteristics. This is primarily due to the character of the regions underlying geology. The geology of Wales is complex and extremely interesting and can be generalized into two main formations, metamorphic and igneous. The two types make up the vast majority of subterranean rock found in Wales, each of which forms very poor aquifers in terms of transmissivity. However, these formations are units of high permeability rock, making them ideal for water extraction. One such subterranean rock stratum forms the source aquifer for Ty Nant. Effectively surrounded by rocks of very low transmissivity, the water contained in the Ty Nant aquifer will primarily consist of recharge directly through the surface of the ground above. Lateral flows into the aquifer from the surrounding, relatively low permeability rock is insignificant, allowing for the isolation of the aquifer. As the rocks forming the Ty Nant aquifer units are of high transmissivity, residence times for the water are low, producing the characteristically low mineral content of Ty Nant natural mineral water. Furthermore, recharge to the aquifer is rapid, allowing for a high water yield to be drawn without overexploiting the available capacity of the aquifer. Ty Nant prides itself as being the custodian of this precious and essential resource. Having created a successful international distribution network for the water drawn from the aquifer at Bethania, Ty Nant is totally committed to ensuring the long-term preservation of what truly is a marvelous and worthy resource: the production of pure water from a solid rock. The chic minimalist styling, clear glass, and monochromatic labeling combine to create a design that is strikingly contemporary and quietly understated.
