Where Does Water Come From? 🌊

Water is all around us! It comes from lakes, rivers, and even underground. In Wales, we get lots of rain ☔, which fills up rivers and big storage lakes called reservoirs. This water is cleaned and sent to our homes so we can drink it straight from the tap!

Why Does Your Body Need Water? 💦

Did you know that more than half of your body is made of water? That’s why drinking water helps you:

✅ Stay cool when you run and play.

✅ Move important nutrients around your body.

✅ Get rid of waste your body doesn’t need.

✅ Think clearly and feel happy!

What Happens If You Don’t Drink Enough? 😟

If you don’t drink enough water, your body gets dehydrated. This can make you:

🚨 Feel really thirsty.

🚨 Get a headache.

🚨 Feel tired or dizzy.

🚨 Have a dry mouth.

How Much Water Do You Need? 🥤

Most kids need 1.5 litres of water every day. That’s about 6-8  cups! If it’s hot outside or you’re running around a lot, you will need to drink even more!
