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 < age < 1; 1 ≤ age < 11; 11 ≤ age < 20; 20 ≤ age < 65; 65 ≤ age; and all people in the survey taken as a single group. These distributions are suitable for use in public health risk assessments.
