The Water We Use

Question 14 • 5120VB Environmental Science Sem B- B

Explain why the amount of water a person needs to survive can be highly variable.

Answer

Answer:

The amount of water needed to sustain a person is highly variable because it depends upon not only the temperature and humidity of the environment where they live but the level of physical activity they engage in as well. People engaging in low levels of activity in cool temperate climates will need less water to survive than people engaged in highly strenuous activity in hot, dry climates.
