Where there's salt water and plenty of sunlight, there are ways of making fresh water. The only thing you need is a piece of plastic, or a tarp, or even some large tropical leaves. The only caviat is that you must have the know-how before you get stranded.
No nucweps tests were done there (it wasn't part of the Pacific Proving Grounds.) Nikumaroro is believed to have the most completely intact native biosphere of any of the atolls, hence visiting is forbidden without government permission.
now that u mentioned this. i wonder why certian islands are off limits to the public. yeah i can understand someone getting hurt, no security so people do what they want, law suits if someone gets hurt etc etc. but there's something else behind all of that and why it's so stricked, and off limits. i liive in nyc, and im dying to go to hoffman island swinburn island, north brother island etc. i asked around and they told me u need permission . im like wow.
If that rock had a stable, ample supply of fresh water (which it doesn't,) I wouldn't mind going there to spend the rest of my life. Of course, now that it's a World Heritage Site and a protected wildlife preserve, you can't even set foot on it without express permission from the government of the Republic of Kiribati.
The mouse is actually a rat - Rattus exulans the Polynesian rat. Theyget enough water from occasional rain squalls and from the vegetation they eat.

How does the little mouse live without water?

Ha ha, maybe you're right. but if I was her, I would guzzle coconuts juice everyday. :p Hint: South island is too hot.

Try this experiment - Drink coconut juice instead of water for a few days and let me know what happens. Hint: Stay close to a bathroom.

maybe coconut juice could be a water to drink for her.

Plenty of food. Water would be the problem. The only fresh water is what falls from the sky, and then you have to figure out how to catch it.

seems there are a lot of foods for a castaway. :)

You need permission because it's probably under protection. Atolls have delicate reefs.
Or they tested nuclear weapons on it... like Bikini Atoll...
