Abstract

"The maintenance of the water balance of an organism is of prime importance for its physiologic well-being." (1) Water, which composes approximately two-thirds of the entire human body weight, is the fluid in which all vital chemical reactions occur. A loss of 25 percent of body water usually proves fatal. The inherent physical and chemical properties of water render it as the ideal fluid to meet the physiological demands of the organism.
