Resumo: | Water is a natural resource essential for sustaining life since it greatly partakes in the organic metabolism. Water intake is thus a basic physiological need. During many years, nature has undergone modifications shaped according to economic, political and social interests. Technological development led to an inadequate use of water and consequently to the emergence of environmental problems, especially water waste. This may eventually cause water scarcity worldwide. Through a methodological approach based on a literature review on scientific knowledge, current research reports on the main organic complications that affect the body due to insufficient fluid intake caused by the inadequate behavior of the human being and the future deficiency of water resources caused by human activity and by the triggering of a conflicting relationship between man and nature. Lack of water becomes a public health problem since, due to a decrease in water intake, physiological changes occur, coupled to dehydration, kidney failure, urolithiasis, and hypotension. Their persistence may lead to death. Therefore, all governments should promote activities, adapt legislation, monitor and punish aggression and crimes against the environment. They should also promote conscience-raising environmental education to make the subjects aware of the need for a change of attitude and mentality. |

Sendo assim, a ingestão hídrica é considerada como uma necessidade fisiológica básica. No decorrer dos anos, o espaço natural tem sofrido modificações as quais são moldadas por interesses econômicos, políticos e sociais executadas pela sociedade. Tal cenário propiciou o desenvolvimento tecnológico, levando o homem a utilizar os recursos naturais de forma irracional, provocando o surgimento de problemas ambientais, sobretudo o desperdício de água que futuramente poderá culminar com a escassez hídrica mundial. Através de um caminho metodológico baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica com a reflexão de um conhecimento científico, o presente estudo objetiva relatar as principais complicações orgânicas que afetam o organismo, devido a uma ingestão hídrica insuficiente, sendo hoje causada pelo comportamento inadequado do ser humano e futuramente consequência de uma deficiência de recurso hídrico proveniente da ação antrópica, desencadeando assim uma relação conflituosa entre homem e natureza. Percebe-se que a falta de água torna-se um problema de saúde pública, pois com a redução da ingestão hídrica, ocorrerão alterações fisiológicas, favorecendo o surgimento de patologias como a desidratação, insuficiência renal, urolitíase e hipotensão, que, persistindo, poderão levar o ser vivo a óbito. Portanto, é indispensável que todos os governos promovam ações, adequando as legislações vigentes, fiscalizando e punindo com rigor agressões e crimes contra o ambiente, bem como o emprego da educação ambiental como uma ferramenta de conscientização humana, despertando no individuo a necessidade de mudança de postura e mentalidade.Universidade Cesumar - UniCesumar2011-05-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRevisão de Literaturaapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1671Saúde e Pesquisa; Vol 4 No 2 (2011): maio/ago.Saúde e Pesquisa; v. 4 n. 2 (2011): maio/ago.2176-9206reponame:Saúde e Pesquisa (Online)instname:Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisainstacron:CESUMARporhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/article/view/1671/1281Lopes, Thaís DiasArruda, Patrícia Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-05-20T14:34:20Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1671Revistahttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesqPUBhttps://periodicos.unicesumar.edu.br/index.php/saudpesq/oainaep@cesumar.br2176-92061983-1870opendoar:2022-05-20T14:34:20Saúde e Pesquisa (Online) - Cesumar Diretoria de Pesquisafalse |

Water is a natural resource essential for sustaining life since it greatly partakes in the organic metabolism. Water intake is thus a basic physiological need. During many years, nature has undergone modifications shaped according to economic, political and social interests. Technological development led to an inadequate use of water and consequently to the emergence of environmental problems, especially water waste. This may eventually cause water scarcity worldwide. Through a methodological approach based on a literature review on scientific knowledge, current research reports on the main organic complications that affect the body due to insufficient fluid intake caused by the inadequate behavior of the human being and the future deficiency of water resources caused by human activity and by the triggering of a conflicting relationship between man and nature. Lack of water becomes a public health problem since, due to a decrease in water intake, physiological changes occur, coupled to dehydration, kidney failure, urolithiasis, and hypotension. Their persistence may lead to death. Therefore, all governments should promote activities, adapt legislation, monitor and punish aggression and crimes against the environment.
