Water, water everywhere: and not a drop to drink.
When there are only a few pints of water to drink in the life raft and no indication of immediate rescue, it is essential for the life raft leader (who is not also necessarily the captain of the lost vessel) to immediately become extremely smart about water usage, water collection and the problems inherent in limiting humans access to water.
And all that, BEFORE dehydration robs all of the survivors of the mental and physical capacity to help themselves.
