Our bodies are made up of about 60% water and we cannot survive more than a few days without it. About every 7 weeks, that water is renewed, mostly by what you drink.

Each day, an average adult naturally loses 2.5 to 3 liters of water under normal conditions. That water must be replaced.

A person can live 40 days without food, but will not survive more than 2 or 3 days without water.

That is why it is so important to hydrate properly.

Fresh water is necessary for the survival of all living organisms on Earth.

Water is a precious substance that meets our physical needs while at the same time being of great spiritual importance to many people.

Water is also an integral part of many ecosystems that support us and a myriad of other species.

Global water protection action supports communities worldwide against the fossil fuel and related industries.

As water is central to life and connected to all living things we have to stand up to protect water for the benefit of present and future generations worldwide.
