How does the body loose water?

On average everybody loses about 3- 4 liters (about 10-15 cups) of water a day because of sweat, urine, exhaled air and bowel movement. (We lose approximately 1-2 liters of water just from breathing!) This amount must be replaced by the water we drink and the food we eat.
Exercise and sweating can significantly increase the amount of water we lose each day by up to several liters.
