Water is precious
What would happen to us if water disappeared? There would be no life.
‘A human being can survive an average of three to five days without the intake of water.’ Source Wikipedia
Why am I telling you this, when it’s obvious?
The truth is that I feel sad when I see how we waste our precious water.
Just some examples of what I see around me: dripping taps in bathrooms and toilets, swimming pools filled with drinking water, cars washed with drinking water.
I wish we could shift our thinking from wasting water to valuing it.
Imagine if our water was switched off for couple of days. We would all realise how vital it is, and treat it with care.
Start today and treat water like something you value and appreciate. Tell others about it. If we as individuals take action we all can improve the water situation for us now, for our planet and for the future generation.
Make a difference with small measures. Be aware when you turn the tap on.

Drinking too much water
Source: Wikipedia
Water intoxication (also known as hyperhydration or water poisoning) is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain function. It occurs when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside of safe limits by drinking too much water.
Healthy (both physically and nutritionally) people have little to worry about accidentally consuming too much water.
Nearly all deaths related to water intoxication in normal individuals have resulted either from water-drinking contests, where people try to drink more than 10 litres in just a few minutes, or long bouts of intensive exercise during which electrolytes are not properly replenished, yet massive amounts of fluid are still consumed.

Water and our bodies
Here’s what Wikipedia says about the human body and its need for water:
Our bodies are somewhere between 55 and 78% water, depending on your size. We need 1–7 litres of water a day to avoid dehydration. The amount varies depending on level of activity, temperature, humidity and other factors.
Most of this is taken via food or drinks other than drinking straight water. It’s not clear how much water healthy people need, but most advocates agree that 6–7 glasses of water (approximately 2 litres) daily is the minimum for good hydration. If you have healthy kidneys, it’s quite hard to drink too much water, but (especially in warm humid weather and while exercising) it’s dangerous to drink too little.
But be careful not to drink too much water while exercising, as this can lead to hyperhydration, a serious condition. The idea that we should have eight glasses of water per day can’t be traced to a scientific source. Source: Wikipedia
