No but: It healthy to drink plenty of water. So although not necessarily related, poor nutrition can lead to poor immune response.

Possibly: It is important to drink water daily. It replenishes all of our cells. It can help to keep your immune system working better. If you have a poor immune system you can get recurrent viral infections which can lead to runny nose and cough as symptoms. But too much water can be dangerous as well as it lowers your sodium concentration.
