University of Michigan medical researchers led by Dr Frederick Collier show a man can survive without water until about six percent of body weight is lost. For a 150 pound adult this equates to about nine pounds over two to three days with dehydration signs. The study, published in Modern Medicine, estimates a daily water need of about 2000 cubic centimeters to offset typical moisture loss. Collier aimed to guide fluid allowance for patients recovering from surgery.
