Then your body is on its way to
becoming dehydrated.
t he average adu It has between 10
and 12 gallons o f water in his or her
body — accounting for 50 percent o f
body weight.
That water plays a critical role in
nearly every bodily process. And
being a quart or two low can impact
how you feel
“ Water is needed by virtually ev

roles water plays in the body. W ith

body can have a difficult time main
taining a normal temperature.”
Nearly everything you do during
the day -- including typing, talking,
walking, and even eating -- requires
energy. That energy, in turn, gener

through perspiration. Perspiration
is the mechanism that keeps the body
cool.

Pump problems threaten
Park Hill lawn
The Green rolling lawns o f the
city’s Park Hill Cemetery were
facing a brow n-out w hen the
cemetery’s irrigation pump failed.
After the pump broke, city staff
from the parks, fire and public
works department patched together
a temporary watering system us
ing the fire hydrants as w ater
source. The temporary system will
keep the cemetery lawn in the best
possible condition.
The lush grounds at the 5 1-acre
cemetery near Mill Plain Boulevard
and Devine Road are usually keep
green with the aid o f a submersible
pump in a well at the park site. A high
sand content caused the pump to
fail.
“This was a creative solution un
der difficult circum stances,” says
Dan George, urban parks manager.
Repairs to the pump are expected
to take at least a month.
