No, the water is in jars. Just like the gasoline is in gas cans and acid is in acid jugs and stew is in bowls and candy is in wrappers. It is simply not represented anywhere but in your inventory. It is an abstraction. But you definitely should still continue to assume that there are jars.

You can imagine that after you drink you put the empty jar in a special slot of your backpack and it waits there until you find some murky water in a toilet and then you pull out the jar and fill it up and it shows up in your regular inventory full of murky water. Or when you remove water from your dew collector you are pulling out your empty jar and filling it with drinkable blue water.

There are just no animations for those actions. They happen "off camera". Its the same exact way you have been playing with gasoline and acid and stew and anything else that comes in a package which, after you use it, you don't see the empty packaging any longer.
