How much food does a cow need per hour and water does a cow need?

The amount of feedstuffs and water that a cow needs is measured on a per-day basis, not per hour. Even then it is really dependent on the individual animal itself, especially when it comes to water requirements. As far as feed is concerned, the maintenance requirement for a cow is around 2.5% if its body weight in dry matter ration per day. As-fed ration is variable depending on many things including moisture of the feed, physiological requirements of the cow, and the time of the year.

How far can a cow smell water if you turn a cow into a strange pasture in in Arizona can she find the water tank?

To my knowledge, cows can't smell water unless there is something in the water that would give it a scent. In the scenario you describe, the cow could probably but not defintely find the water tank, depending on the location of the water tank and the shape of the water tank, etc. If the cow is thirsty, this combined with natural curiosity will drive the animal to find the water. You should make sure the cow is getting the water by checking the water level in the tank. If it's not getting water, it will bawl/ moo a lot and then become quite ill and theoretically die eventually.
