Water is essential for life and a major key for survival. It is originated mostly from drinking, feedstuffs, and metabolic pathways (metabolic water). Water comprises from 75% body weight in infants to 55% in the elderly and is essential for cellular homeostasis. Thirst and water consumption are centrally and peripherally regulated by complex and tightly interconnected mechanisms. This chapter summarizes current progress and knowledge associated with body fluid homeostasis and the regulation of water intake at the central and peripheral levels.
