Naked mole rats are neither moles nor rats. They are hairless rodents that can swim if needed. 

Under right condition they can survive even after falling in water.

Only between 1 to 15 percent of them can swim, about 1 percent walk quickly.Some of them walk very slowly.They may be slowest sperm of any mammal.

Rats have been in worse areas than that, I say that if they can survive since, they adapt to almost any environment, Rats have a somewhat advanced intellect so humans are superior but, I think they survive any environment. .

This animal does not like to drink water. However, the main source of hydration is eating plants. It is more on consuming the roots of these plants.

No, naked mole rats cannot swim. They have a low body fat content and dense fur, which makes them sink in water. Additionally, they do not have the necessary adaptations to survive in water, such as webbed feet or a waterproof coat. If a naked mole-rat were to fall into water, it would likely drown.
