Formula

~33 ml per kg of body weight, + ~350–500 ml per hour of exercise, adjusted for climate

Example

A 70 kg person with 45 min daily exercise in a hot climate needs roughly 3 L/day.

Signs to drink more

Pale-yellow urine and infrequent thirst suggest adequate hydration; dark urine, headache and fatigue often signal deficit. Food contributes about 20% of total fluid intake, so thirst plus meals covers part of the target automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Does coffee count?

Yes — moderate caffeine doesn't dehydrate you; coffee and tea contribute to daily fluid intake.

Can I drink too much water?

Rarely but seriously — extreme intake can dilute sodium (hyponatremia). Spread intake through the day rather than chugging liters at once.
