The Water We Use

Question 23 • TX-Environmental Systems-BCAS

Which of the following best explains why humans need constant supplies of fresh water?

Answer
A
Humans need a constant supply of water to provide them with essential vitamins.
B
Humans need a constant supply of water to maintain proper hygiene.
C
Constant supplies of freshwater are needed because body water is continually being lost.
D
Constant supplies of freshwater are not actually necessary for survival.

Explanation

The body continually loses water through processes such as urination, sweating, and breathing. We need to replace that lost water to keep the body functioning, so the best answer is “Constant supplies of freshwater are needed because body water is continually being lost.” Fresh water is not needed to provide essential vitamins, and hygiene alone does not explain the body’s ongoing need for water.
