Water is the most important essential nutrient because all of those important chemical reactions we have been mentioning take place in water. Your body weight is about 65% from water. So if you weigh 100 pounds, 65 of those pounds will be from water in your body.

You usually need about two liters of water every day which is about 10 cups. of water. You may drink water or other beverages, or you can also get water through fruits and vegetables that contain water. How about watermelon?

In some parts of the world there is not enough fresh water, but lots of ocean water. Watch the video on how high school students made fresh water from salt water. We may need this technique on the life boat if you didn't bring the water! And it is true that if you are stranded at sea you should NOT drink the salt water!

Peace Corps Volunteers Nicholas Hanson and Brian Newhouse help develop plans to use solar stills to solve the problem of Cape Verde’s perennial water shortage. This video illustrates how students and community members can come together to achieve lasting, meaningful results. ||
