How much water per day?

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends that adults drink 1.5 litres of water a day.
This figure serves as a rough guide, as individual requirements vary depending on age, weight, outside temperature and physical activity. Particularly on hot days and during high levels of physical activity, including concentrating on lectures or cramming learning material, drinking is important for the circulation and an additional 0.5 to 1 litre of water should be drunk per hour.

These tips can help prevent dehydration:

• Provide your daily water ration in the morning
• Keep water to hand at work or in your free time
• Drink a glass of water with every meal
• Take a water bottle with you when travelling
• Use an alarm clock or mobile phone app for regular drinking reminders
