Daily Water Intake Calculator — How Much Water to Drink
Proper hydration is essential for body temperature regulation, joint lubrication, nutrient transport, and organ function. But the "8 glasses a day" rule is a myth — your actual needs depend on weight, activity, and climate.
How We Calculate
Base = 35 mL per kg body weight
+ Activity adjustment (0-1000 mL)
+ Climate adjustment (0-300 mL)
Signs of Dehydration
- Dark yellow urine
- Headaches and dizziness
- Dry mouth and skin
- Fatigue and poor concentration
- Muscle cramps during exercise
Tips for Staying Hydrated in Indian Climate
India's hot tropical climate means most people need more water than the global average. During summer months (March-June), increase intake by 500-1000 mL. Include coconut water, buttermilk (chaas), and water-rich fruits like watermelon.
FAQs
Q: Does tea/coffee count?
A: Partially. While caffeinated drinks contribute to hydration, they have a mild diuretic effect. Count them as ~50% of their volume.
