i once saw a documentary about people trekking across a dessert, and they were saddled down by the weight of the water they had to carry.
i thought "if only someone could invent dehydrated water, then their load would be very much lightened".
all they would have to do is add water to the dehydrated water crystals and presto! they would have proper water to drink.
If they brought dehydrated water with them, they would still have to bring water to add to the dehydrated water so they would have to actually carry more because they would have to carry the regular water and the dehydrated water.
Also, dehydrated water would be non-existent because water without water would be nothing. Of course, there would be minerals and bacteria left over in dehydrated water because it is not pure water.
