Purified Water (Fallout: New Vegas)

Purified water is an aid item $$

Gameplay
The Mojave Wasteland has multiple natural sources of pure, non-radioactive water, and as a result, the Courier encounters clean water more often than in the Capital Wasteland, where most of the water is contaminated and radioactive. When playing in Hardcore mode, purified water is a more "refreshing" drink with respect to Dehydration than alcohol or soda, as they actually worsen Dehydration.
