Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why is it important for the amount of water intake to equal the amount of water output? The amount of fluid taken in and the fluid excreted should always be in balance. This is because the body needs water to maintain its metabolic processes. An absence of which can cause dehydration which is detrimental to the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The core principle of fluid balance is that the amount of water lost from the body must equal the amount of water taken in; for example, in humans, the output (via respiration, perspiration, urination, defecation, and expectoration) must equal the input (via eating and drinking, or by parenteral intake).
