I carried 2 2.5 gallon jugs on my back while I rappelled 270+ feet into the canyon at the bottom of Gemini Bridges during Primal Quest Utah in 2006. Water was at a premium at that event. It was 122 degrees one day!

On outings with my SAR team it's not uncommon for me to go into the field with 2 3-liter camelbak bladders in my pack.

The rule of thumb, in warmer climates, is 1 gal per person per day. Depending on where you're going, you might be able to use a filter and use the water that's already there.
