HOW MUCH WATER TO DRINK
Varies depending on

You lose quite a lot of water through sweating, exhaling and urinating. In hot weather, you tend to lose more water through sweating, in cold condition, you tend to urine more.
A more accurate estimation is to drink at least half your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of water.
For example:
1. You weigh 160 pounds.
160 ÷ 2 = 80 (amount of water to drink in ounce per day)
Answer: Drink 80 ounce of water per day.
If you are using kilograms in unit, divide the kilograms by 30, this gives you the water to drink a day in litre.
2. You weigh 75kg
75 ÷ 30 = 2.5 (amount of water to drink in litre per day)
Answer: Drink 2.5 litre of water per day.
