Basically you should ensure that you are not thirsty. You body knows when you need a drink - you become thirsty.

However companies selling water and "health" drinks want to make us purchase their products and to achieve this they have created a perception that people need to drink a lot of water each day "Stay Hydrated" is their slogan - "it makes you healthy" they say.

Similarly market forces are tying to sell you slimming products and services and what better way for them to make money than by linking slimming to staying hydrated, especially when you are susceptible to changing you diet at the time - a good time to strike!.

Basically you do not have to drink extra water when on a diet. Just drink when you feel thirsty and try not to drink stuff with added sugars or sweeteners.
