Water is called “the elixir of life”. This is, indeed, the name which the Indian Nobel Laureate, C. V. Raman, has given it in his celebrated essay of the same name. The earth comprises two thirds of water and one third of land. Water is essential for all living beings. There can be no life without water.
Human beings, animals and all kinds of plants all need water. Much of the beauty of the earth is because of the presence of plenty of water on it. The main sources of water are rain, rivers, lakes and underground water, besides seas and oceans which are the main store-houses of water. Rains are caused by clouds. This rain helps the forests to grow which in turn also cause rain. Rain also feeds the rivers. The rivers mainly get replenished with the melting of snow on the mountains.
Man’s misery in the absence of the availability of drinking water is thus highlighted by the renowned supernatural English poet, S. T. Coleridge in his celebrated poem, the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

Water, the elixir of life
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Drinking lots of water is supposed to be good for you, but what happens to the body if it doesn’t get enough? Is it possible to drink too much water? And what role does water play in the body?
“Have you had enough to drink?” You’ve almost certainly heard this question in connection with heat, sport or headaches. However, some people find it difficult to drink the recommended daily amount, which varies between one and two litres depending on your height and weight. Since we also get some liquid from the food we eat, it’s important not to confuse the recommended daily amount of liquid that you should drink with the total fluid intake. The Swiss Nutrition Association recommends a total fluid intake (from drinks and food) of two to two-and-a-half litres per day.
Why does the body need water?
The human body is about 60% water. In fact, the figure for new-born babies is about 75%. The fluids in the body perform a number of functions, acting as an important solvent and medium for transporting nutrients, enzymes and hormones. Water ensures that we are able to excrete waste products, controls body temperature, and keeps the body's tissues and skin supplied with moisture. It is also essential for many biochemical reactions and regulates the metabolism of cells. Last but not least, water plays a key role in the intestine, facilitating digestion by making the stool softer.
What happens in the body if we don’t drink enough water?
Headaches are probably the best-known symptom of dehydration. Dehydration initially makes itself felt in the form of thirst, discomfort, loss of appetite, nausea, restlessness or increased heart rate. Other symptoms include reduced mental capability (i.e. a lack of concentration and slower reactions) and a fall-off in physical performance. Long-term persistent underhydration can also lead to an increased risk of constipation, while severe prolonged underhydration can have very serious consequences and will ultimately result in death.
