Daily Water Intake Guide

How much to drink, when, and how to check that it is enough.

All guides

How much

  • Aim to pass 2.5 litres of urine a day
  • That usually needs 3 to 3.5 litres of intake in Lucknow's summer
  • Add extra with outdoor work, fever or exercise

When

  • Spread intake across the whole day
  • One glass on waking
  • One glass with each meal
  • Shift intake before 7 pm if you wake at night to pass urine

Check yourself

  • Pale straw urine = well hydrated
  • Dark yellow = drink more now
  • Passing urine every 3 to 4 hours in the day is a good sign
