amd_water It’s not new news that we all need to drink a lot of water each day just to sustain and invigorate our bodies and minds. But there is new ways you can help remind yourself to drink the water this year!

1. Water Aid, a charity from the UK, has created 2 software programs to help remind and alert you to drink more water. One is a screen saver that reminds you to drink water while you are working and the other is an alarm that will alert you when you need to drink water. You can download both programs from their website.

2. In the world of ridiculous iPhone apps, here is one that actually makes you feel better! “Water Your Body” is a water calculator that tells you how much water you need to drink and keeps tabs on how much you have had to drink. The icon shows how many more glasses you need each day to stay fully hydrated.

3. In addition, TapIt has created an iPhone app that will show you where there is free water refills. Right now it is only applicable in New York City, San Francisco and Portland, but good information to have and hopefully they will expand to more cities as more people enter information on the TapIt website.
