The best place for water is in your body not your canteen.
a balanced diet is essential to optimum performance. - balance is dependent upon activity and temperature.
Common sense should rule in all situations, if people are not used to working in the field, train them in keeping water in their bodies as they get used to the environment - the worstcase of dehydration I saw was in a Winter Warfare environment... "But, Doc, I didn't feel like I was sweating..." with 2 full 2 qt canteens the guy needed an IV to get the fluids back in him.
