Blood viscosity relies on water to change (usually). Being very hydrated causes your blood to manageably thin. It is easier to pump thin blood as opposed to thick blood (so this is obviously ideal for your body). When you are dehydrated, your blood will thicken in response. This increases the time it takes for fresh oxygen to make it to your cells. This causes early fatigue, nausea and other effects.
High sodium works to dehydrate you (which is why energy drinks and sodas are a bad choice of beverage when you are dehydrated).
There are chemicals that adjust how quickly water cycles through your body and such chemicals are needed for patients with high blood pressure.

Why do arteries function better with thick walls?
Blood vessels that take blood away from the heart are called arteries. The high pressure of the blood pushes strongly on the thick, elastic artery walls. They stretch and shrink as the blood moves through them. This movement of artery walls makes a pulse. When an artery passes close to the skin the pulse can be felt and therefore used to count how fast the heart is beating.
