Please accept this question from a perosn without a firm grasp of knowledge regarding magic. I am merely a humbly acquisitions specialist working out of Greyhawk. I have recently collected a Ring of Sustenance and was curious as to how you Wizards interpretted the description of the item.

Does it in fact as described (gives life sustaining nourishment) give the wearer food and water or just food? Also, would you expect that it might increase or decrease the amount of nourishment given dependent upon the environmental circumstances, for example more food/water in a desert setting, perhaps less in a forest?

You thoughts please, oh Sagacious ones.

Since it removes your need for food or water, it doesn't need to adjust how much you "receive".
