Water is the most plentiful constituent of the human body and is necessary for life. Total body water as a percentage of body weight varies with age and is high especially during the first 3 yrs of life. A part of rational nutrition in childhood is right water intake. Children need select drink solutions for optimal water intake. High water intake is necessary during sport activity and by very hot climate/sunny days. High body water loss and risk of dehydration are during acute diarrhea. In the therapy for uncomplicated dehydration is possible to use oral rehydration solutions.

Keywords: total body water, water intake, dehydration, rehydration solution
