Abstract:
Water plays many important roles in our body. It is the major part of most of the body's cells except for fat cells and it also cushions and lubricates the brain and the joints. It transports nutrients and carries waste away from the body cells. This paper discusses the importance and impact of quality water on human health. The paper relies on qualitative content/document analysis of relevant empirical materials gotten from secondary sources. Findings reveal that the composition of water in human body is 85% in the brain, 80% in the blood and 70% in the muscle. The research findings also show that polluted water has negative effects on human life. The paper argues that efforts to improve or maintain a certain water quality often compromise between the quality and quantity demands of different users. It is advised that one should take the recommended quantity of water daily, which is a minimum of half your body weight, in ounces/milligrams.
