Joint sand used for paver applications should be a course, washed concrete sand. This sand takes more time to get into the joints, but is also more difficult to wash out. Do not use silica sand or mason sand. The joint sand should also be completely dry. If the sand you have is damp, spread it out to dry before using. Wet and damp sand will prevent it from flowing freely into the paver joints.
Drinking eight cups or two litres of water a day is longstanding advice. But is there any scientific basis for it, asks Dr Chris van Tulleken.
Since then, The British Dietetic Association has declared that an average adult should drink 10.5 cups of water per day. Also, the Journal of the American Dietetic Association says the average sedentary man should drink 12 glasses of water a day, and the average sedentary woman 9 glasses per day. The truth is water is an essential nutrient for life.
