Late to the party - others have touched on the salient points. Regular brake fluid changes are recommended primarily to get water OUT of the system. What I can't understand is being worried about how some (unlikely) spilled brake fluid might damage paint, but not worried (seemingly) about damage that might occur to the car and passengers from failed brakes. Maybe it's just me.

Save the water for your canteens --- it WILL get your body home during your hike out of the desert.
