Running Water
Water & You
How It Effects You
With exception of Crete in 2000 bce and the Roman Empire, running water in a household did not become commonplace until the 1890’s. Even then it was considered a luxury. There are many places around the world today where they still do not have such luxuries.
889 million people around the world do not have access to purified safe water. Yet in ancient Rome they used the aqueducts lined with Zeolites to purify their water over 2000 years ago. This is not rocket science.
70% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water
95% of the Earth’s water is in its oceans (salt/saline).

How Much Water
Is There on Earth?
The human body is made up of anywhere from 50 - 75 % water, depending upon the amount of fat in your body. Fat holds water. Infants typically have around 70-78 % water. By age one, they normally drop to around 65 %. Interestingly, the average male and female do not share the same percentage. The average male will normally run approximately 60 % water content. Meanwhile, an average woman averages 55 %.
