How long can a human survive without water?!


Question: How long can a human survive without water?
Answers:

There's an informal "rule of 3's" which says a human can survive 3 minutes without air, 3 days without water, and 3 weeks without food. Individual tolerances vary, and survivors have been found alive in earthquake rubble after a week (although it's possible they've had access to rain or ground water).



The survival rule of thumb is: 3 hours without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food.



it depends upon the fitness of that particular person...
but on average, a person can only live without water only upto 3 days...
and after that...he will die due to dehydration....



about 3 day, although some have lasted 7, but by that time you have internal organ dammage.



normally a week but in some cases people can live for years w/o water



2-3 days.



Few days
