Perhaps, but dying of thirst in the desert is a bit more believable then dying in a happy meadow with clear, crisp, clean water everywhere. The Mojave is a barren wasteland with about two bodies of water that's safe to drink. One has mutant monsters, and the other is guarded by slavers and Roman Legionaiires. Pick your poison ;)
