Morphology

water + intake

The meaning 'the amount of water consumed' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'water' (H₂O for drinking) with 'intake' (amount taken into the body). The compositional pattern X + intake = amount of X consumed is common in everyday language and across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Water intake comes from the simple idea of what goes into the body: water is the liquid and intake is what you take in, so it means the 'amount' of water a person or animal 'drinks' in a period.
