Water
Canteen
Soldiers have always found it necessary to carry water when on campaign.
Water
is necessary for all life on Earth. Humans can survive for several weeks
without food, but for only a few days without water. A constant supply
is needed to replenish the fluids lost through normal physiological
activities, such as respiration, sweating and urination. In terms of
mineral nutrients intake, it is unclear what the drinking water
contribution is.

Hydration
System
In recreation and other sustained outdoor activities, a hydration system is an apparatus intended to promote its user's drinking enough liquid to support the physical effort involved in the activity. Such systems for consumers were first sold to cyclists, but by the 1990s also had found a substantial market among hikers. Familiar commercial models can also occasionally be recognized being worn by Western military personnel.
The hydration system is usually composed of a bladder carried in the back of the shoulders, which has a tube attached, and easily available to the user so water can be sucked in to the mouth. This system makes it easier to drink water while doing other things.
