+==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
