1/2 gallon or 2 liters of water in 80F or 26C is barely enough for an adult doing nothing but sitting in the shade watching the grass grow. If you're gardening, mowing the lawn, cutting trees, riding your bicycle or playing baseball, you need about 1/2 quart or 1/2 liter of water per hour.
YES, thats why i said "for someone who ISNT moving around much" DUH!!
He plans on mowing the lawn for an hour or more! Damn he's got a big lawn....I'm kidding.
