Dehydration: Try to drink about 64 ounces of liquid per day. That is a very general guideline, and some people will require more or less than that to prevent dehydration.

Dehydration: You can only prevent dehydration by drinking plenty of fluids, being in shape and avoiding extremely hot temperatures. If you feel light headed or that your body has become extremely hot, get inside, drink plenty of fluids and either get into a cold shower or bath.
