Camels do not store any water in their humps. The hump is a reserve of excess fat for energy.

Camel humps are fat reservoir, not water reservoir, so the question is misleading and moot.

Why there are big humps on a camels back?

a camel's hump is a giant mound of fat, actually. In a healthy, well-fed camel, the hump can weigh as much as 80 pounds (35 kilograms)! Human beings and most animals store their fat mixed in with muscle tissue or in a layer right beneath the skin. Camels are the only animals with a hump. The hump allows a camel to survive an extremely long time (up to two weeks) without food if need be. Because camels typically live in the desert, where food can be scarce for long stretches, this is important.

Why do camels have humps?

The reason for the existence of a camel's hump is purely down to genetics. A camel is genetically predisposed to have one (Dromedary camel) or two humps (Bactrian camel), depending on the species. Camels are born without humps, but gain them as they grow older.The hump is a structural adaptation for the camel in times where feed is absent. Fat (not water) constitutes the hump of the camel, and this fat is accumulated when the camel eats more than their immediate bodily needs. A camel will eat 4 percent of its body weight in dry matter intake. A well-fed camel will have a full, well-rounded hump full of adipose tissue. This hump may disappear or becoming nothing more than floppy, excessive skin when the animal is travelling and without feed for some time. A camel uses fat primarily as an energy storage source.Long term food storage, they build up fat and then use it for energy on long journeys.to store fat, not water, like most people think.Edit: it's true that it's to store fat, but water is produced when fat is burned, so by default it's also a form of water storage.To store fat to live off when food and water is scarce!
