Water is a life requirement for the population, and must be present on the ship for long term survival. The population will consume water that is in containers or in tanks at a rate of 20 per cycle per individual. Access to the water is unnecessary, if it's on the ship it will be consumed.

In addition to consumption by the population, water can be used to generate oxygen using an oxygen maker.
