Salts do need to be replaced, but are absorbed more readily when accompanied by sugar. I assume this is what is meant by "flavored water", but in collage we were taught the WHO recommended formula: 1/2 teaspoon salt, 6 level teaspoons sugar (6 teaspoons is 2 tablespoons) 1 quart or liter of clean drinking water. Note that plain salt is not optimum and should only be used where more advanced salt mixtures can not be obtained from the local pharmacy.
