Can you overload your kidneys if you drink too much water, or is it filtering mostly a passive process?

I always really liked drinking water. Not an insane amount, about 2 liters (100 fl oz) a day. So I always wondered whether I’m overworking my kidneys or if they are just passive filters benefiting from the water passing through.

I was working as a cart attendant at Sam’s club. Missouri summers are brutal. They were only giving us water. I told them, you gotta give us some sports drink too as it replaces electrolytes, they refused as my manager claimed, that’s what water is for. Ended up getting Hyponatremia. Yes you can definitely drink too much water.
