In general, humans can survive for two to eight weeks without food, depending on stored body fat. Survival without water is usually limited to three or four days.

3 days or less, without systemic damage. It depends on the temperature and humidity. Hot dry conditions, such as found in a desert, will dehydrate us sooner than moderate temperatures and humidity.

We are made mostly of water. Our brain is in fact 80% water. We can survive no more than a few days without drinking any. Of course, this will vary depending on active you are - how much you sweat etc.

However, water doesn't have to come directly from our food and drink. Respiratory water is produced as a by-product of aerobic respiration:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ energy)

Camels don't store water in their humps. They store fat, which then turns into water when it's metabolised. Same with humans - kind of...

That may vary depending on the environment; in a hot dry desert he may not last more than a day or two; in a very humid climate you might be able to last up to 7 days at most.
