Scottish Water on tap
Scottish Water provides you with a clear, fresh supply of high quality drinking water, direct to the kitchen tap in the heart of your home. We carry out the equivalent of 40 quality tests every hour to ensure your drinking water's clear and fresh.
By simply choosing to turn on the tap to get a drink you could help improve your own health and well-being. Enjoy drinking clear, fresh water simply by filling a glass from your kitchen tap to help you stay properly hydrated.
All plants and animals, including humans, are largely made up of water and need water to survive. Your body is around two-thirds water - so water is essential to the growth and maintenance of your body, and is crucial to your general health and well-being.
Scottish Amateur Rowing Association President Mary Massaro knows just how important hydration is to top athletes:
“Maintaining a healthy diet and keeping properly hydrated is so important for our rowers – it can give them that vital edge over opposing crews. Healthy, hydrated muscle tissue is around 75% water. We encourage our crews to drink water before, during and after training to help boost energy levels, stay alert and help prevent cramp.”
Water is essential to keep your body hydrated, flush toxins from your system whilst retaining vital vitamins and minerals. It forms a major part of your blood (approx. 82%), lubricates your joints and eyes, aids digestion and helps you look better by keeping skin smooth and elastic.
Water is the naturally healthy drink. It is free of calories and cholesterol and is sugar free so it can help you have healthier teeth - read more about the British Dental Health Association's endorsement on scottish tap water.. The amount of water you should drink will depend on your weight, how active you are and also what the weather is like.
