To stay healthy, you need to continually replenish your fluid supply. Experts recommend drinking approximately two quarts (64 ounces or about eight glasses) of water each day.

HOW MUCH WATER DOES A PERSON NEED? Every human being needs water to survive and the bare minimum per person for drinking and sanitation is measured at 20 liters a day. In highly developed countries clean water is available 24 hours a day and the average consumption level is 100 liters per person.
