Methodist Healthcare System teamed up with the San Antonio Zoo to bring a splash of hydration education to families and kids this summer. Our Hydration Education Station was a hit, with more than 800 visitors! We handed out more than 700 commemorative Methodist Healthcare/Zoo water bottles that were immediately put to good use.

Did you know? A rhinoceros needs 20 gallons of water a day to stay hydrated. We used a large tub filled with 20 gallons to give visitors a clear, visual sense of just how much that really is.

In comparison, adults need about 64 ounces of water daily, and children need around 40 ounces. Some may need more or less water depending on their age, activity level, and the weather. Parents and caregivers should keep an eye on hydration habits and encourage regular water intake, especially during playtime or on hot days.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by — we loved connecting with you and sharing this important message. Stay hydrated! Heat-related illness? Our emergency rooms are open 24/7 to help. Find a location at SAHealth.com/ER.
