I can't say for sure yet, but it seems people have trouble with cold water. I've read that some people drink warm water because of this. There could be many other reasons, though.

Cold water is better for hydration, because it flows through your stomach ans into your intestine faster, whereas warm water will actually sit in your stomach longer.
