Its not easy to do which is why guys used IV's. The problem is compounded by the fact the human body can only retain a certain amount of water per hour, believe its around 1 liter. So you have to drink continuously for many hours because your body will expel a lot of the water in your urine. In other words, if you need to hydrate a gallon, which is 8 pounds, then you have to drink more than a gallon to do it.
No one rehydrates using water. That would be asking for trouble.
