How to Find Clean Water in Grounded

Wondering where you can find clean water in Grounded?

Survival games like Grounded test your ability in many ways. Staying warm and avoiding enemies are two of the most common things you should take care of in a survival game, but you will eventually need to seek out shelter and craft tools. 

However, there is one set of needs even more basic in Grounded, which is finding food and water. 

The best armor in the world won’t mean a thing if the wearer (you) dies of thirst and hunger. 

In Grounded, you are shrunken down into the size of insects and put in the backyard of a suburban home. This forces you to be crafty and turn everyday objects and resources like berries and grass into raw materials. 

Unfortunately, being stuck in the backyard doesn’t help at all when finding clean and drinkable water. 

To help out, we’ve decided to make a guide on how to find clean water in Grounded. 

Let’s get right into it!

Unsafe Drinks

Keeping your Thirst Meter full is crucial in Grounded. Players who collapse due to thirst will drop their backpacks, requiring them to venture back to wherever they fell upon respawning. If you collapse near a spider’s den or a swarm of mosquitoes, it is very hard to get your backpack back, even with the best mutations available. 

Fortunately, there are a few options in the game when it comes to getting clean and drinkable water. 

Whether you are trying to figure out how to get into the sandbox or just doing some exploration, it is likely that you’ll do tons of traveling. While there are pools of water all around the backyard, they are stagnant and filled with dirt. 

Drinking from these puddles will make you sick.

This is the same thing for the gigantic pond that has more water than you could ever need. It is unsafe and unclean to drink.

Finding Clean Water

The best source of clean water in Grounded is Dew Drops. These giant droplets can be found clinging to the underside of grass as well as other surfaces. Seeing a water droplet bigger than you is a sure sign that your thirst will soon be quenched. 

However, there is one issue. Most Dew Drops in the game are out of your reach, given that you are shrunken down. 

Luckily, dew hanging from a stalk of grass can be knocked down by hitting it with a projectile or cutting down the grass itself. Once you’ve collected the dew, you can safely drink it to quench your thirst.

Keep in mind that new dew drops spawn every day, so even after you have filled your belly with all the water in the backyard, you can always come back later for more.
