As you are explaining ---your water intake is less for your strenuous activities and long exposure to sun---you may take 12 glasses normal--- plus 3-4 glasses (for your special strenuous activities -in sun)-equals-16 glasses of clean water or fluids daily /also take 200 gm of fresh vegetable salads and 100 gm of fruits before lunch and dinner -- so that you will get vitamins and anti-oxidants required for your special -extra activitiesmobile in the present covid pandemic days --it is better to avoid strenuous physical work or exercises.
