==The Importance of Maintaining Adequate Levels of Water==
===Too Little Water===
* Inadequate perfusion due to low blood volume
* A build up of waste products due to insufficent urine volume
* Increased solute concentrations affect cell function
* Inability to sweat and control body temperature
* Death
===Too Much Water===
* Oedema
* Increased blood volume and therefore pressure could damage the CVS
* A decrease in solute concentrations disrupt normal cell function
