How can you survive in a desert with no water?

Answer 1

"Limited" is a big stretch here. Basically, people will last about 3 days after they run out of water- tops. The heat alone might kill even a well-hydrated person. Assuming a scorching sun, no shade, limited supplies, and no water probably 2 days before people are incapacitated and just lying around. ---- However, people such as the Australian Aborigines and the Kalahari bushmen are skilled enough to survive by collecting water from the dew that forms in the morning. They know how to get moisture from the stunted and limited plant life in any given area, and most of all, they know how and where to dig to find water. Although sections of the Australian desert, for example, are completely inhospitable to non-natives, there is nowhere on the Australian continent where the indigenous people would be unable to put their water-finding survival skills to adequate use.

Answer 2

If they do not live near one of the few oases, most would have to have water trucked in from elsewhere. Some people have developed an apparatus that will extract moisture from the air in those areas of the Atacama that experience fog, usually near the coastline.

Answer 3

They get their water from either the bodies of their prey - or as dew on plants.

Answer 4

You can't survive very long in a desert with no water.
