Because practical hydration varies meaningfully with body size. Without weight, the tool is a good benchmark; with weight, it becomes more personalized.
Estimate daily water with body weight, sweat intensity and optional body composition.
Official DRI AI is an excellent population benchmark, but different body sizes often need a more personalized day-to-day estimate. This calculator shows both instead of hiding the official reference.
Population AI helps as a compass, but it does not fully answer how much a specific body usually needs in daily practice. Body weight and sweat intensity make the estimate more actionable.
Hydration still cannot be reduced to one perfect number: thirst, urine color, climate, exercise duration and medical conditions still matter.

The tool keeps official DRI AI visible as a population reference and calculates a personalized weight-based estimate. If body-fat percentage is provided, the ml/kg factor is nudged within the 30–35 ml/kg band so that body composition also affects the estimate.
Personalized base = weight × factor between 30 and 35 ml/kg; the factor rises as estimated lean-mass proportion rises. Sweat/activity and heat are then added. Official DRI AI remains visible for comparison.
