Hi, I'm a Mindflayer, but don't let that worry you
A waterskin holds 4 pints of water, which is equal to 1/2 gallon. According to the food and water rules (PHB, p. 170), a character needs to drink 1 gallon of water a day to stave off exhaustion and death.
So, assuming each character is traveling with a waterskin (which not every background provides), the average party can survive outside of town for about... half a day.
This means that the average level-1 party will die of thirst long before they even reach a dungeon.
So... Does anyone actually use waterskins in their game? If so, how?
