On the island of Fais, coconut water is the primary drink

On the island of Fais, located in Micronesia, drinking water is preferentially provided by coconuts rather than by standard networks. Each fruit contains approximately 300 ml of a liquid loaded with electrolytes, consumed at a rate of three to five units daily per inhabitant. This natural resource can however be threatened by droughts consecutive to the El Niño phenomenon occurring every eight to fifteen years.
