                                                         Water Usage by Humans And Animals


    Every human and living thing in the world needs water to live, survive  and keep healthy. All humans need water to drink, take showers, wash dishes, do gardening and other reasons.

Living things also have the need forwater. Water also helps keep plants and animals cool. Some living things have up to 90% of their body weight as water. About 60% of the human body is water. Around 83% of our blood is water which holds food, wastes from germs, and heat around our body.

Each day humans lose about 2.4 litres of water through body waste. The vanished water must be replaced through drinking.

   All animals need water  to survive. Water can be a habitat for animals like fish. Some fish need salt water and others need fresh water. Many kinds of fish such as clams and trout get oxygen from water. Some animals drink water often to keep hydrated, digest food and build body fluids.

Water is important to every life form because without water we will die.
