Water is a scarce resource so when it is dispensed and made available to the populace it is by opening a valve of some sort that allows it to cascade from a cliff face and down onto an arid dry dessert floor bed. Some people have cups, mugs and buckets to catch it in, so hey it's not a total waste.
We see some water in the film, but no sign of food apart from the two headed mutant lizard Mad Max stamps on and eats, there really isn't any implication of how anyone gets a meal in a dessert with no water and the occasional lizard or bug. Despite this there is a demigod like figure who is worshipped by a populace of thousands. Not really the every man for himself, dog eat dog world of the future one may have been expecting then.
And as for where the gasoline is coming from, well what does that matter, even though oil was the principle cause for conflict in all previous films as it was the most valuable commodity it's not even an issue here even though it's the stuff that sustains the film's entire action sequence.
The flashbacks imply Mad Max's past, we see them at the beginning when he's being pursued by some sort of dance troupe in make up, or the bad guys. What the dessert lack's in water is compensated by a tremendous amount of white powder and dark eyeliner. But really the film just becomes very monotonous and even giving the film this amount of attention is quite undeserving of the film itself.
