Why does water taste different in different water bodies?

Water is a substance that is odorless and tasteless; third-party additives give the water taste: biological components and organisms, metal salts, acids, alkalis and other pollutants. Depending on which of the listed components is in the water, its smell and taste will change. So an excess of acid gives water a sour taste, an excess of lime – a hard earthy taste, an excess of silt or clay – an unpleasant clay taste, an excess of organic components – an unpleasant characteristic rotten taste.
