==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 insufficient 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
