Hello friends
"ADH or antidiuretic hormone is produced in the hypothalamus and secreted from the neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary gland). ADH increases the reabsorption of water from the urine in the renal system back into the blood. ... Thus ADH conserves water in the kidneys and returns that fluid back to the general circulation."
I hope it is helpful for you.

Answer:
The role of ADH in urine formation is to decrease the amount of urine formed. ADH increases water reabsorption from the urine back into the blood stream.
Explanation:
ADH is an hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus. ADH stands for Antidiuretic Hormone. Diuretic is the term used to refer to the state of increased passing of urine. Therefore an antidiuretic compound like ADH, decreases the amount of urine passed.
When the blood gets concentrated, ADH release is triggered from the posterior pituitary gland and works in the kidney nephrons to initiate reabsorption of water.
The Antidiurectic hormone reduces the amount of urine formed and conserves amount of water in the body.
