Usage
Water needs to be consumed by the player in order to stay alive, see thirst rates. Water can be consumed from a Water Bottle or water fountain. The water bottle can be filled using a Water Bottle Filler.
Water is used when showering to recover Hygiene. It is also used to grow plants in a Hydroponic Tray or a Hydroponic Station. Water pollution occurs as a byproduct of using specific devices, resulting in Polluted Water.
Water has a specific heat of 72 J/mol*K and a latent heat of 8000 J/mol making it great for cooling applications.
Sources
You can obtain water by smelting Ice (Water) using a Furnace or crushing Ice (Water) using Ice Crusher, or by combusting Hydrogen and Oxygen using the Combustor. Filtering is no longer required as the Furnace and Ice Crusher now contain separate outputs for liquids and gases.
Water can also be obtained by processing Polluted Water through a Water Purifier or distilling polluted water through phase change mechanics.

History
Water was previously treated as a Gas. It could be part of the atmosphere, and could be stored in gas tanks and pipes. However, since with "Go with the flow" update, a new system for liquids has been introduced, including separate pipes, tanks, pumps, etc for liquids.
