Often times it's a clear stream. But after a long while it's warm and yellow-gold in color, why?

The tint of urine is usually determined by how hydrated you were when you uninated. If you're not well hydrated it is usually darker.

When it's clear, it's a good sign that your body is hydrated. Yellow urine means you should drink a little more water. Urine should be clear.

The color of your urine reflects how concentrated it is. When you are dehydrated, your kidneys produce more concentrated urine to minimize further fluid loss resulting in a darker colored urine. On the other hand when you are very hydrated your kidneys are not concerned about minimizing fluid loss (because the brain hasn't released vasopressin which tells the kidneys to conserve fluids) and therefore your urine is very dilute and closer to clear.

This is directly related to how hydrated you are. the more hydrated the clearer the urine, unless you take a high potency multi vitamin which will brighten the yellowness of your urine.

Urine is diluted uric acid. Whenever you withold urine for long time the uric acid is concentrated as some of the water from urine is absorbed back into the body through bladder tissues. and it looks golden yellow colour.

The more hydrated you are the clearer - darker indicates low hydration due to additional salts and other 'impurities'.
This assumes there is no other medical condition in play.

like others said. if you don't drink lots of water and take protein foods it will be yellow. and if you take lots of fluids it will be clear. unless it is greenish or with blood there is nothing to worry

depending of the amount of fluid intake...the more the clearer...the less the more concentrated, therefore yellow color...also depending on what type of food, vitamins or medication you take as well.....

If you are not properly hydrated with water your urine will be more concentrated or dark and cloudy.
