How old are you, normally this is a old age problem, but it can affect the young people also, we call it as xerostomia or dry mouth, one solution you are already doing, drink plenty of water, second is saliva supplement which is available in the market, but most important is with dry mouth there are chances of multiple caries, so better start using fluoride mouth wash and fluoride tooth paste

Chew sugar-free gum or suck on sugar-free hard candies to stimulate the flow of saliva. For some people, xylitol, which is often found in sugar-free gum or sugar-free candies, may cause diarrhea or cramps if consumed in large amounts. Limit your caffeine intake because caffeine can make your mouth drier. Don' t use mouthwashes that contain alcohol because they can be drying. Sip water regularly. Try over-the-counter saliva substitutes? look for products containing xylitol, such as mouth kote or oasis moisturizing mouth spray, or ones containing carboxymethylcellulose or hydroxyethyl cellulose, such as biotene oral balance. Try a mouthwash designed for dry mouth? especially one that contains xylitol, such as biotene dry mouth oral rinse or act total care dry mouth rinse, which also offer protection against tooth decay. Avoid using over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants because they can make your symptoms worse.

Along with salivary function tests, try to do following things, drink plenty of water each day. However, try to limit your intake of coffee, soft drinks and alcohol, which can dry up your mouth. So just avoid them as much as possible. Chewing sugarless gum and sucking candies can also be helpful, as this stimulates saliva production.
