How do we calculate your water needs?

We start with a baseline amount based on your body weight — roughly 33 ml per kilogram of body weight, the basic amount your body needs daily even without extra effort.

We then add extra based on your activity level (to replace fluids lost through sweat), plus extra if the climate is hot or humid, since your body loses more fluid in the heat.

The final result is a solid estimate of your daily needs, but remember water sources don't have to be pure drinking water only — fruits, vegetables, and soup all contribute to hydration.
