For a body to function properly, people need to drink water according to their build and exercise preferences. Water transfers oxygen through our body, regulates its temperature, prevents skin from breakouts and wrinkling, and ensures proper work of the digestive system.

Our brain also depends on water. Not drinking enough water can cause headaches and have an impact on our mood and memory. Water should also be considered important in weight loss. It is suggested that before eating, it is good to have a glass of water or choose water instead of a snack first as our brain tends to mix thirst for hunger.

It’s one thing to forget to drink water but there are some areas where people don’t have the access to clean water. According to World Health Organization (WHO), “climate change, increasing water scarcity, population growth, demographic changes, and urbanization already pose challenges for water supply systems”. They estimate that by the year 2025 half of the world will be experiencing water scarcity. Having this in mind, some changes need to be made.

These changes start from changing our everyday habits such as making sure to use the amount of water that we actually need instead of letting it run carelessly, implementing some water-saving technologies and also educating ourselves on this problem.
