Frequently Asked Questions
How much water should I drink per day?
A common guideline is 30-35 ml per kg of body weight, adjusted for activity and climate. Most adults need between 2 and 4 liters daily.
Does activity level affect hydration needs?
Yes. Physical activity increases water loss through sweat. Active individuals may need an additional 0.3 to 0.5 liters or more per day.
Does climate matter?
Hot or humid climates increase perspiration, raising hydration requirements by approximately 0.3 to 0.5 liters per day.
Can I drink too much water?
Overhydration is rare but possible. Drinking far beyond your needs can dilute blood sodium levels. Use this calculator as a practical guide, not a strict rule.
