The water that you get directly from your faucet is tap water. Tap water is generally taken from a dam or river and supplied to your home through pipelines. Tap water is ideal for household purposes, such as cleaning, gardening, cooking, and washing clothes.

Sparkling water is something that has undergone carbonation as a result of which it becomes frizzy, similar to sodas. You can convert spring, purified, or even mineral water into sparkling water by adding carbon dioxide.
