title: Lognormal distributions for water intake by children and adults.
abstract: We fit lognormal distributions to data collected in a national survey for both total water intake and tap water intake by children and adults for these age groups in years: 0 less than age less than 1; 1 less than or equal to age less than 11; 11 less than or equal to age less than 20; 20 less than or equal to age less than 65; 65 less than or equal to age; and all people in the survey taken as a single group. These distributions are suitable for use in public health risk assessments.
