Can drinking too much water be dangerous?

Post by deleted-371373 »

Hi, I am a Grade 9 learner and I am doing a science project about drinking too much water and the influence it has on the human body.

I must do an interview with an expert that has experience in this field.

Questions:

1.What is the suggested amount of water a person need to drink per day?
2.Is it good or bad to drink more than the suggested amount of water?
3.Why is it GOOD/BAD?
4.Is it possible to drown without e.g. falling in the swimming pool?
5.How does osmosis work between the blood and body cells?

Thank you for your time

Hello Anzel and welcome to science buddies,

If you want to interview an expert, you should read and follow the guidelines for interview requests and your questions for the expert should be posted in the Interview Request forum:

Please note that you should not expect the expert to answer background questions about your science project.

Part of the value of doing a science project is what you learn doing your own background research!
