Like many native Australian marsupials, wombats do not need to drink water as long as the conditions are good, and there is no drought. As long as they have access to fresh grass and sedges, they are able to obtain their moisture needs from the food they eat. They are able to conserve the moisture they take in, and do not readily lose it. When the vegetation starts to dry up, they will obtain water wherever they can smell it - from creeks and rivers, billabongs and even people's backyards.
