Bottled Water Facts 3
It's amazing how much we don't know about the major player in all of our lives -
water. From keeping our bodies running to rejuvenating our planet, water plays
a major role in our daily lives. Here are ten fun facts you may not know about water:
- The human body is made up of over 75 per cent water
- Each day people must replace 2.4 litres of water which is lost from
their bodies through perspiration and kidney filtration. Keep a bottle of
water on your desk at work and take frequent sips to keep your body hydrated
- Canadians consume 350 litres of water per day through use such as
laundry, brushing your teeth, showering and drinking
- The human body absorbs cool fluid better than room temperature or warm
beverages. An easy way to always have cool water on hand is to keep a
supply in the fridge like the new 8 litre bottle from Canadian Springs.
The new format provides convenient access to cool spring water directly
from your fridge and with a unique, easy-to-use tap that is handy for on-the-go
activities
- Approximately 750 litres of water is needed to grow 1 kilogram of cranberries
- The equivalent of 100 million bath tubs full of water goes over Niagara Falls
every minute
- Approximately 100 litres of water is needed to produce 1 litre of alcohol
- Once evaporated, a water molecule spends about 10 days in the air
- Of the total world's freshwater supply, about one-third is found underground.
The majority of this underground water can be found in aquifers similar to those
that are used for bottled spring water
- In the 1990s, over a ten year period, Canadian demand for bottled water grew
over 300 per cent
