What is the best way to get a 91 year old to drink water?

She doesn't understand why she needs to, she has to urinate in her word "alot" esp noc? She is a family friend, Not my Parent. I know that drinking water is very important in many ways.

I've been getting my mother-in-law bottles of flavored water. She loves lemon, so I get that flavor for her. Anything that will encourage an old person, well actually ANYONE to drink more water, is worth it. It's NOT a carbonated or gaterade type of drink, just old fashioned flavored water.
