Pets are like humans, excessive water intake could be a sign of diabetes or something more serious. However, climate and activity levels will impact how much water your dog may require.

Dogs need water and the larger the dog and the the more active a dog is will determine the amount a dog's drinks water. Sometimes it can be a sign of a deeper health issue such as diabetes or diet issues.

If it is excessive and out of the ordinary, talk to a vet. I have had two dogs with sudden excessive water drinking and both had serious medical problems that caused it. One had kidney stones. The other had cushings, a serious hormonal imbalance.
