Survival mode
In Survival mode, dirty water can reduce the Sole Survivor's thirst, though at the cost of increasing radiation and increasing the risk of contracting disease. Cartons of dirty water can be created by using the "Fill Bottle" option if one is next to a water source (river, sea, lake, pond, puddle of stagnant water, or contaminated water fountain) and if the player has one or more empty bottles in their inventory. Alternatively it is possible for the player to drink directly from the water source.
