• This is total water from all sources, not just what you drink: food supplies part of it.
• An Adequate Intake is believed to cover the needs of all individuals in the group; the National Academies note the data are too limited to say with confidence what share of people it covers.
• This is an estimate for general information, not medical advice. Talk to a doctor or other qualified health professional about your own situation.
