How to Determine How Much Water to Drink
I am planing to develop a mobile application to monitor the water intake level of a person. I found the following calculator, but I have no idea what is the formula that they have used in the calculator.

I want to create a formula to determine how much water to drink per day using following inputs.
Age
Weight
Height
Gender
Activity(No of hours)
Can any one suggests me a formula for this

No, because activity as a feature is too highly variant and there are probably a lot of other factors that would go into a formula like this.
If you do a bit of research you will find that there are guidelines of fluid intake per day for certain groups of patients, e. g. in intensive care, dialysis patients,...: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=fluid+intake+per+day
The first hit on "formula fluid intake per day" produces a hit from the Daily Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/food/article-4617270/How-water-REALLY-drink-day-revealed.html), which does not have too high of an impact factor.
The "8 glasses of water per day" rule is a one-size-fits-all rule that should not be used on people with e. g. organ damage such as heart failure, renal failure etc.
