Water helps with softening the stool. It lubricates the colon which makes it easier for all your waste to move frequently and easier through the digestive system. Why do you think you're pooping more since drinking more water?

If you take in more water, it accelerates the digestion process since it hydrates your system. It's so because it added to the number of bowel movements.

Adding more water makes your stool softer, and normally would increase the activity in the colon, so you’ll end up pooping more often. It is just your body adapting to a better hydration, particularly when your food contains a lot of fibre.
