The following excerpts are from the Mayo Clinic but really you need to read the whole article as it has some interesting conditions (exercising, pregnancy, illness, etc.) that you should see before you decide for yourself how much water intake is appropriate for you:
"How much water should you drink each day? — a simple question with no easy answers. Studies have produced varying recommendations over the years, but in truth, your water needs depend on many factors, including your health, how active you are and where you live."
"A couple of approaches attempt to approximate water needs for the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate."
"Replacement approach. The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids. "
"Dietary recommendations. The Institute of Medicine advises that men consume roughly 3.0 liters (about 13 cups) of total beverages a day and women consume 2.2 liters (about 9 cups) of total beverages a day."
"Even apart from the above approaches, it is generally the case that if you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and produce between one and two liters of colorless or slightly yellow urine a day, your fluid intake is probably adequate"

One liter off water is good = 4glass of water, or you can drink more if you are in some special program or sport activity. If you drink 2 liters you will eliminate more water by suet or going to the bathroom more often.Water is very good 4 you it cures and prevents illness.i hope this help you

Depends on weather conditions and your physical activities. Normally 2 to 5 Liters.

well one liter is 32 ounces and you are supposed to drink 64 ounces of water a day, so that would be 2 liters......

You don't need to drink 8 glasses (2 liters) of water a day. You certainly don't need 1/2 your body weight (in oz.) per day. You don't need ANY arbitrary target amount per day. Drink when you're thirsty. Period!
