Spin Doctor Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Natural water sources, streams, springs etc. When we became more advanced wells were dug. Edit: Of course people's diets were generally better to so a greater proportion of water came from foods. Interestingly, brewing beer was invented as a means of making some waters drinkable. Then there is the level you get from basic matabolism aswell which would be higher with more exercise in times of yore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
