Hey!

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm concerned about staying hydrated, especially for my family. How much water should children drink daily?
user
The amount of water children should drink daily varies by age. For example, children aged 4-8 years should drink about 1-1.5 liters, while those aged 9-12 years should drink around 1.5-2 liters.
assistant
That's helpful, what about teenagers and adults?
user
Teenagers should drink around 2-2.5 liters of water daily, while adults should aim for 2-3 liters. However, these are general guidelines, and individual needs may vary depending on factors like activity level and climate.
assistant
I see, so activity level affects hydration needs. What about older adults, do they need more water?
user
Older adults may need more water due to decreased thirst sensation and changes in body composition. Aim for 2-3 liters daily, and encourage them to drink water regularly throughout the day, rather than consuming it all at once.
