volume correto de água em tempo adequado


Explanation:
'at right time' significa mais como 'suitable time' e neste caso, 'time' não podemos precipitar traduzindo como 'hora', já que não sabemos se pode ser duração: como neutro, é melhor deixar como'tempo'.
Entre quantidade e volume, escolheria volume para água, por questão física.
