How do Muslims manage in Ramadan without drinking water?

Every year, for one lunar month known as Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink and sexual relations from dawn to sunset. O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed to those before you that you may achieve God consciousness. (Surah Al Baqarah, Chapter 2 Verse 183) Fasting is a time of reflection and appreciation of all that we have; a time for increased devotion towards God, a time of generosity towards those less fortunate, and a time of unity with others who are fasting. It is also a time of developing self-restraint. Weight loss is not meant to be an objective of fasting. It can be hard without water particularly when the days are long and the weather hot, but the mind is a powerful tool and those who are fasting know that they are more fortunate than many to be able to have fresh water and food at the end of the day.
