Water Beggars

Water Beggars refers to an unmarked, repeatable quest in Fallout 3.

A lot of wastelanders need purified water. Giving them this gives you positive Karma (+50). Denying them water causes them to die at the next map change, even if they were given purified water before. However, telling them to find their own water, and then giving them water is ok, letting them live on. They do not die if you do not explicitly tell them to find their own water, however, and their death incurs no Karma loss for you.

Since two of the beggars are outside player houses, they can easily farm good karma using water generated by their Mister Handy. You can also gather aqua pura, which is made available with the Broken Steel DLC pack, and give them this in return for positive or negative (if Modified FEV was utilized in the purifier) Karma, however this will also cause them to die at the next map change regardless of whether or not the aqua pura contains Modified FEV.
