In hot environments, dehydration can happen in a matter of hours. Dehydration depends on ambient temperature, exertion, physical health, alcohol consumption, and amount of water consumed. A rule of thumb is that you should drink a liter of water every hour at temperatures around 120 F. With moderate exertion you might want to increase that to two liters per hour. Symptoms of dehydration would be decreased sweating, lethargy, low urine output, urine is dark yellow, and disorientation.
