MREs don't require water except to use the heating packet that is enclosed. If you just rip open the pouches and squeeze them down your throat or spoon them down, then no water is needed to prepare them.

I last ate MREs in '84 at Fort Irwin while field testing the anti-mine plows and rollers. The "beef bar" was COMPLETELY inedible without water. It was akin to trying to eat a sharpening stone. Supposedly they've changed the meals somewhat since then, but they're somebody else's problem now.
