Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 204
A person who drinks water to satisfy his thirst says shehakol before and boreh nefashot after. However, if he is not thirsty and is only drinking the water to wash out his mouth or help take a pill or even just to stay hydrated, no beracha is said either before or after since there is no taste and therefore no real tangible enjoyment. However, one who drinks any other drink does need to say a beracha before and after even if he is not thirsty at all, since generally there is an enjoyable taste.
