August is one of the coldest months of the year, so like biggbird I'd say if you can't do it then, you can't do it ever. I'm a Darwin local and I'd totally do it in August. It is towards the end of the dry, so the waterholes will be at their driest, but from memory all of the campsites are by permanent waterholes, that I've happily filled up at.
Florence Falls and Wangi have tap water too I think.
Walker Creek definitely has permanent water.
The other sites I'm not sure about in August, but did have water when I did it many years ago in June.
Drinking should have enough water, just maybe not heaps to swim in.
have fun!
