A fair amount of weight could be saved by capturing rainwater rather than
stashing all of the water from the beginning, but some water weight
allowance would be needed to provide for non-rainy days as things are drying
out, and the food, etc. still needs accounted for. I'm not sure how
drinkable the flood water is supposed to be in the model; perhaps some water
could be scooped up from below as well.
I think there are endemic species of freshwater animal in the
Tigris-Euphrates region, which would need either to have some place
adequately sheltered from the consequences of the Flood to survive or else
to have evolved very rapidly after the Flood.
