Why is it important (body system processes-wise) to drink enough water? What are the consequences of chronic dehydration?

Question

I struggle to drink enough water for some reason. I’m hoping someone can simply explain the scientific reason it’s important and what damages happen from chronic dehydration, to be able to “scare” myself maybe?
