Getting water to it won't be a problem.
You would be amazed at the water a deer will get from the plants they are eating plus from the dew in the mornings


True although when it's this dry, plants have MUCH less water in them. Especially non woody plants. Take the difference between grass and hay. Same thing, different forms. That's an extreme example, but you get the idea. All animlals also need more water during hot weather.
