From the Paper:

"Water consumption is crucial to health. In the worst case dehydration can become a literal life-or-death matter. But experts say that far too many individuals fail to recognize the simple but vital role water plays in just plain feeling good. Water has the power to make one feel healthy, revived, and balanced. Water is not the cure-all for every disease but can have an impact. To prove that water will have an impact on the body, go a day without drinking water. No one in his or her right mind would follow this advice because of human instinct. The body's systems would deteriorate and a person would feel run down. Water as it enters the body has several functions. With water being one of the main structures in the body, water intake helps to balance and regulate almost every system. Water is involved in temperature regulation, digesting and then excreting waste. Blood is water based; water lubricates internally, helps in chemical break down of the body's other nutrients, and cushions organs and joints."
