Water Monitoring Day 18th sept
Water is a precious commodity, and one which we tend to take for granted – until supplies run short. Water Monitoring Day
promotes considerate usage of water, so as to preserve resources and
ensure that water is available where and when it’s needed most.
It also promotes awareness of what’s actually in our water –
from beneficial nutrients and minerals to harmful chemicals, why not
take this day to understand what you’re drinking?
Did you know - The human body can last weeks without food, but only days without water. The body is made up of 55 to 75 per cent water. Water forms the basis of blood, digestive juices, urine and perspiration and is contained in lean muscle, fat and bones.
As the body can’t store water, we need fresh supplies every day to make up for losses from the lungs, skin, urine and faeces (poo). The amount we need depends on our body size, metabolism, the weather, the food we eat and our activity levels.
