Is there any study in India discussing "how much water ingestion (consumption by drinking) rate" by the Indian population per day?
IR ingestion rate of water [250 ml/day for infants, i.e., 0–12 months, 1.5 l/ day for children (Brindha et al., 2016) and 3 l/day for adults (Planning Commission 2011).

In India, there are no such specific guidelines provided by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for daily water intake. So in many research papers and studies conducted in India often rely on U.S. guidelines for water ingestion rates. This practice is common in the absence of localized recommendations.
