A daily intake of 1-2 liters of water is required for the normal physiological functioning of the body, depending on the ambient weather conditions. The absolute minimum over the long term is about 1.6 liters (600 ml for urine, 200 ml for fecal losses, and 800 ml for losses via the skin and lungs). This includes water contained in food (i.e. it is not necessary to drink 1-2 liters of water a day).
