Diabetes insipidus is caused by a lack of anti-diuretic hormone. This hormone is usually responsible for creating water channels in the collecting duct of the kidney, which allows urine to be concentrated.

Low levels of ADH can cause excessive urination (polyuria) followed by extreme thirst (polydipsia). A rare water metabolism disorder, called central diabetes insipidus, is sometimes the cause of ADH deficiency but low ADH doesn't not cause diabetes insipidus.

The body can not conserve water and will lose too much to survive.
Diabetes insipidus is characterized by frequent urination of large amounts of dilute urine. It is caused by either a reduced production of anti-diuretic hormone by the hypothalmus, or a reduction in the sensitivity of the kidneys to anti-diuretic hormone. Diabetes insipidus generally results in dehydration and an imbalance of electrolytes in the bloodstream (most concerning being sodium and potassium).
