The Bedouin knew every detail of wells across the country . The resevoirs provided not only a source of water , but also directions for navigating throught the desert . The desert is a tough place to live . For generations , people survived through the UAE's sweltering summer by managing to eke out limited and hidden food , water and shelter .The Bedouin developed the ability to read subtle clues about where water might be . The Bedouin would dig until they hit water and the well would be named after the man who did the job . In dire straits the Bedouin would drain a camel's body of its water ; camels can store water for a much longer time than other animals .
