This seems like a good answer, but if you could add references it would be better than good.

Despite having +1'ed, I should note it is not clear if this answer takes into consideration the nuance of the question. It is not asking about rationing water or getting used to using less water. It is asking about training your body to retain more water by keeping yourself dehydrated for a short while before the hike, and then presumably ramping up immediately before to hydrate yourself and possibly have more water retention, going into the hike more hydrated than you would have (if the idea holds water). At least, that is my take on the question. I'll ask for clarification.

good points, I couldn't find any reference (in English or other) to the purpose of the “water discipline”
