So until you’re getting “enough” water, your body only uses as little as possible to flush out your stuff. This is why your urine will be more yellow, since there’s more junk in the water it’s using to pee it out. When you start drinking in excess of however much is “enough” on top of using water to flush out junk, it also gets rid of the excess water.

So if you need, say, 8 cups of water, and you drink 8, you might only pee out one cups worth. If you drink an extra cup of water, you have to pee out what you normally would, plus that extra cup. So that one extra cup equals twice as much urine. It doesn’t work quite exactly like that, I’m sure, but that’s more or less the gist
