I have heard that 3 gal/day/pers number before, but I have to tell you, it is crap.
I didn’t use that much water as a young paratrooper out in the desert.
And believe me, it was hot, and we were REALLY active.

Sorry. I have to take exception to you here. I worked as a sub for ARAMCO in Kingdom for 5 years. The recommendation was 5 gallons a day per person. I did 4 gallons myself. Granted, interior temps reached 140F, but that was my mileage. Three (3) gallons is a safe number. There is nothing wrong with the margin. YMMV.

I live in Florida, not really a desert but its hot.
Its easy to use 3 gal per day. Drinking, cooking, and basic washing. So I disagree.
