How much more water as fiber intake increases?

messy1349 posted:
I've read that water intake should be increased as fiber intake is increased, but I can't find how much to increase it by. I currently get about 50 grams of fiber per day and drink 5 liters of water, and this seems to be working pretty well. If I increase my fiber intake by, say, 10 grams, how much should I increase my water intake by?
