Default How much water does a deer drink?

Does anyone have any idea how much water a deer needs to take in or drink each day? Reason I ask is my pond is getting dried up. I have approx. 6 regular deer using the pond now.

They drink as much as they feel like, just like us I'm sure if they are thirsty then they drink till they feel quenched.

The last figure I saw was approximately one pint for every ten pounds of body weight .
