Background- Water is one of the most vital elements for life on earth. Ayurveda has acknowledged the significance of water to a greater extent. Modern-day lifestyle declines the importance of water with various inappropriate drinking practices foremost among individuals. People are challenged with numerous pieces of advice regarding water drinking practices. Present-day research data representing the effect of water drinking on health is very minimal & basic. The fundamental principles of drinking water are thoroughly addressed in our Ayurvedic Literature to maintain health, prevent illness, and alleviate diseases. Ancient literature has emphasized water drinking based on their Prakriti (individual body constitution). The objective of the present study is to assess Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) regarding water drinking among individuals. This research will aid in the development of water drinking habits based on Ayurvedic principles, resulting in improved community health.
Methodology- A cross-sectional survey study was conducted on 200 respondents including 50 postgraduate scholars, and 150 non-medical staff at an Ayurvedic tertiary healthcare hospital in Delhi from Jan-Feb 2019, and data was collected through direct interview using Likert scale questionnaire comprising 20 questions on Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) about water drinking.
Result- This study revealed that levels of Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAP) of water drinking are very good among Postgraduate Scholars whereas non-medical individuals have below-average levels.

As a result, disseminating accurate information on ayurvedic-based water drinking practices is critical to maintaining health, preventing illness, and alleviating disease.
