The human body constitutes 70% of water. Water is formed by two elements i.e. Hydrogen and Oxygen. We cannot live without Oxygen. When the levels of H2O fall below an average level, our brain may not get enough O2, and we may suffer from various health-related issues. If you have fallen sick recently and the doctor has said that you suffer from constipation or high blood pressure, you need to intake more water to reduce the pain. H2O helps in forming sweat, and sweat contains harmful bacteria, salts, etc. You can’t live without water. By this time, you may have learned that it is important to keep yourself hydrated by drinking water at regular intervals.
Despite being available free of cost, people don’t drink the right quantity of water, due to which they don’t have a healthy body. People keep their phones with them for most time of the day. Hence, a good method of keeping oneself hydrated is to download and use a top-rated water tracking app for Android. The Google Play Store has 100s of such applications. I’ve mentioned the list of best apps among the lot below.

WDR is my favorite app on this list. It is also one of the few apps that I use regularly. It is lightweight and intuitive. WDR asks users to enter the following details before they start using its reminder feature:
