Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158. The body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion. The body also uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions, so you have to replenish the amount of water that you are losing or your body will shutdown.
There are more than 326 million trillion gallons of water on Earth. 97% of the water on Earth is salt water, while 3% is fresh water. 2% of freshwater is unavailable as of now because is either frozen in permafrost or deep underground. we can only use up to 1% of the water on earth.
Human kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking seawater, you have to urinate more water than you drank. Eventually, you die of dehydration even as you become thirstier. Drinking too much seawater can also drive you crazy.
2 efforts to stabilize the water shortage are to stop make so much fast food, and to turn the water off when your not using it. These 2 thing will be very efficient because fast food uses a lot of water cutting back with save hundreds, maybe even thousands of gallons of water. turning of water when you are not using it will save a lot of water too, but can also maybe set an example for others to do the same.
