Water Bottles, along with Soup Cans are required for the family members to survive. Each member takes 1/4 of a bottle. Family members will require water much more often then they will need soup cans, so Water Bottles should be more of a priority. If an adult family member goes without water for 5 days, they will die of dehydration on the 6th day, but the children will leave the shelter. Therefore, the player must give water to all family members on the 5th day, the 10th day, the 15th day, and so on (note that family members leaving the shelter will make that member off schedule, and the player will have to pay attention to when that specific family member requires water. In the case of an event that requires a water bottle to be used, the whole water bottle will be used in the event, not just 1/4 of a bottle).
