Outback SA road trip in warm weather: how much water per person, per day?

Answer: About 10 litres

In warmer weather, plan on 10 litres per person per day, plus a three to four day reserve.

In mild weather, estimate six litres per person per day. Only about five per cent of the outback has mobile phone range, so tell someone your plans and consider carrying a personal locator beacon.
