Suddenly finding yourself in a survival situation (plane crash etc) is one thing. Walking out into one of the most hostile deserts in the United States with no equipment plans or training is stupid. It's not for novice hikers.
The only water I've found while conducting a mission in he desert is stated above, digging where you see a lot of green growth. Otherwise we carried water for three-5 days and planned on re-supply.
Locating water in the in the desert is tougher to find than an honest politician.
