The Kerala government took a unique initiative in early November to ensure school students drink an adequate amount of water throughout the day by implementing the 'water bell'. As per this initiative, the school bell would ring thrice a day reminding students to take a sip from their water bottles. The water bell would ring first at around 10:35 am, followed by the second bell at 12 noon, and the third bell at 2 pm. Each water break would last 15 to 20 minutes. Many private schools across India have implemented the water bell already. The decision was taken due to many complaints from parents about how their kids returned home with half of their water bottles still full. Students, especially girls, do not drink an adequate quantity of water to avoid frequent visits to the toilets. Among the privileged class, students often become too engrossed in their classroom engagements to remember to drink water regularly throughout the day even when they aren't thirsty. Children and teenagers need to consume approximately 1.5 to 3 liters of water daily, depending on gender, age and weight.
