Frequently Asked Questions
How is water intake calculated?
Our calculator uses a scientific formula that considers your weight, age, climate, and activity level to determine your optimal daily water intake. The base formula is 0.033 liters per kg of body weight, adjusted with multipliers for climate and activity.
Why does age affect water needs?
As we age, our body's water content decreases and kidney function may decline, affecting our hydration needs. Older adults often need to pay more attention to their water intake to avoid dehydration.
