The nearest water was a 27 mile drive. Washed dishes in seawater then rinsed in fresh. It's nice having "enough" water :)
In multiday kayaking trips - back in the day when there really was a wilderness in Baja - my freshwater consumption was about 1 gallon a day. Asked other guys, this seems to be typical norm for potable water for one person. Including washing face and brushing teeth. 65 gallons would last 65 days, but I never carried more than 10 gallons, enough for 7-8 days between re-fills.
Human body doesn't need more than a gallon a day. Most of those 65 gallons will go to sewer, not into meals and drinks.
