Water abundance still requires active stewardship. Dr. Elena Berg meets Denise and Rainer Hofmeister of Wossa, a family-run Austrian natural mineral water brand. Their hand-bottled water comes from a high-altitude marble spring on a centuries-old farm in Carinthia and has an unusually low mineral content. Against the backdrop of one of the world’s most water-wealthy countries, the episode explores how access to springs, wells, and reliable municipal water contributes to health and well-being. Denise and Rainer discuss Wossa’s origins, the taste of their spring water, and why water sustainability and education still matter when clean water feels effortless. Their story shows that water abundance is a privilege that still requires appreciation, resource protection, and long-term stewardship.
