Sediment is made up of soil particles that have been detached from the land by a process called erosion. In many parts of the US, sediment can be found in a variety of ways in water due to processes such as erosion and water traveling through nature,

Magnesium and calcium are natural minerals commonly found in water, and they play an important role in both health and water quality. These minerals are part of what is known as “hardness” in water, and in the right balance, they can be beneficial.
From a health standpoint, magnesium and calcium support everyday body functions. Calcium helps maintain strong bones and teeth, while magnesium supports muscle movement, nerve function, and heart health. Drinking water that contains small amounts of these minerals can be a helpful supplement to what people get from food, especially for those who do not always meet daily mineral needs through diet alone.
Magnesium and calcium also affect how water tastes and performs in the home. Water with some mineral content often tastes smoother and more pleasant than highly purified water with no minerals at all. These minerals can enhance the flavor of drinking water and improve the taste of coffee, tea, and cooking water.
Bone health: By boosting calcium intake and absorption, mineral-filled waters may help with bone health and could stave off osteoporosis. Stronger bones also mean fewer chances for fractures, breaks, and other injuries.
Blood pressure: Magnesium and calcium play important roles in regulating blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease. As both nutrients are found in many mineral-rich waters, drinking those waters may help maintain healthy blood pressure levels.
Heart health: Magnesium is crucial to heart health, and the magnesium in mineral-rich waters may reduce the risk of heart disease in consumers.
Digestive health: Magnesium plays a helpful role in digestive health by supporting normal muscle and nerve function throughout the digestive system. The muscles in the intestines rely on magnesium to contract and relax in a steady rhythm. This movement, called peristalsis, helps food move smoothly through the digestive tract.
