Rulings
- Since all known ways of water generation are card effects, this card effectively shuts them all down. On the other hand, it does not stop Raiding (which is a rules-based water gain), but it will stop other forms of water stealing (like the Khadja). [drh, 9/1/99] Legend of the Burning Sands FAQ, Official FAQ and accumulated rulings, version 1.1, October 1999, p. 10
- This will not stop the Yodatai Stronghold from generating water on their Colony City Sections, because Strongholds are not considered cards for purposes of Dehydration. [drh, 10/8/99] Legend of the Burning Sands FAQ, Official FAQ and accumulated rulings, version 1.1, October 1999, p. 10
