Too little vasopressin (or antidiuretic hormone) will lead to a condition called diabetes insipidus.

If you don't have enough vasopressin, then the kidneys will not reabsorb enough water, and excessive water will be excreted in the urine. This will cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance in the body. Synthetic antidiuretic hormone is available (vasopressin and DDAVP).
