How much water is harmful?
Water intoxication is most commonly seen in infants under six months of age and sometimes in athletes. Water intoxication and hyponatremia result when a dehydrated person drinks too much water without the accompanying electrolytes. The amount of water needed to trigger hyponatremia will vary according to the individual.

About Water
Water is by far the most important substance on Earth. Water covers over 70 percent of the planet and makes up between 50 and 75 percent of the human body. In fact, it's one of the only things we are positive needs to be present for life to exist. When scientists look for life in our solar system and on exoplanets, they are looking for liquid water.
