Cool, Clear Water	comment	The clear running mountain stream is an iconic image of purity. Think of every advertisement for bottled water you've ever seen. So naturally when our heroes are hiking through the wilderness and they come across a babbling brook, it's time to dive right in and drink their fill without a second's thought right after filling the canteens. Those of you who are regular campers or have attended any form of survival training know where this is going. In Fictionland, water that's unsafe to drink will look unsafe to drink. It will be brackish. It will smell bad. There will be dead fish floating on top. Maybe a cigarette butt or used condom if it's in a populated area. So if that mountain stream is crystal clear and Bambi and his pals are all drinking happily from it, then no problem. Except, of course, for the myriad waterborne parasites and diseases that sicken and kill thousands in the real world. Wild animals have immunity to all sorts of microscopic nasties that humans removed from that environment don't (and they still get sick fairly often). There's a reason water purification kits are standard issue for hikers, campers and survival kits worldwide. Not to mention the billions of dollars governments pour into building and maintaining municipal water facilities and sewage treatment plants. Also, in some deserts, water that is beautifully clear and fresh looking (i.e., nothing lives in it) may be caused by natural arsenic deposits that turn up in some rocky areas. Drinking water that looks green and mossy and full of gunk may result in dysentery at worst, but drinking perfectly clear death water might just end your hike for good. In the Mountain West of the US or other areas where there is mining activity, cyanide and cyanide-based chemicals can have the same effect, as can pesticide runoff in heavily farmed/agricultural areas. In other deserts, water that is perfectly clear with nothing in it and isn't running may well be irradiated. Different means, same ends. Or perhaps different ends... This trope is often found in historical fiction, where characters will be shown drinking and bathing in fresh water without a worry or concern. This is especially true of the Princess Classic, whose natural beauty is made only more radiant by the amount of time she spends bathing. Time travelers might also take the opportunity to sneer at the filthy beasts they meet who are simply too stupid to keep themselves clean and too debauched to drink cool, clear water instead of alcohol. All nonsense, of course; people in the old days might not have known about germ theory, but they were well aware that drinking water straight from the stream could cause illness. The reason many people of historical times preferred beer or tea to pure water was that fermentation and boiling were some of the earliest methods of water purification. Some writers take the trope to eleven and give their special royal characters hot and cold running water and showers. In Norman castles. We'd like to claim that this is more common in fan fiction, but sadly it's a common mistake in professionally published fiction.note To be fair, plumbing is Older Than They Think as it dates back to The Roman Empire. A bath with running water wouldn't be too odd in a wealthy household, but hot water requires servants to boil it the old-fashioned way first, and modern-appearing showers are right out. It's best to assume that untreated water is unsafe to drink, particularly if it's passed a road, a village, or a forest. There are streams that have been filtered by mineral layers (more in some countries than in others), but generally they shouldn't be trusted without confirmation, preferably from a local who has drunk from it for many years. Even then, those people may have simply built up certain immunities. Even the purest-seeming mountain stream may be tainted with parasites like Giardia lamblia, also known in Western Canada and the US as "beaver fever". No, not even the First World is immune. See also I Ate WHAT?! and Water Source Tampering. For tropes related to this trope's symbolism, see Heal It with Water and Water Is Womanly.

Sharp-eyed players might notice a few suspicious clues, such as an animal skeleton nearby, your mule refusing to drink, and the guide likewise abstaining. Take a drink anyway and you're treated to a Have a Nice Death scene with the guide looting Arthur's corpse.

Cool, Clear Water / int_21d1578d	comment	There's a few Doraemon strips featuring this gag. One of the stories, for instance, have Suneo's cousin bringing Suneo, Gian and Shizuka on a picnic outing. While setting up camp, Suneo suddenly feels the need to let go, so he does it upstream... and suddenly recalls that they're making soup from the water downstream. Cue dinnertime, and everyone's asking why Suneo is insisting on eating canned food when they have fresh soup. In the long story, Doraemon: Nobita's the Legend of the Sun King the gang ends up in the Amazonian jungle. Reaching the Amazon River and thirsty for a drink, Doraemon then takes out one of his gadgets, a purifier that converts water into fruit juice. Everyone's enjoying a cup of juice made from the gadget, until Gian noticed Nobita taking a pee upstream roughly a few meters away. (PFFFFT!!!)

Shortly after McGarrett and Chin come across the same stream, and McGarrett starts to take a drink, only to have Chin stop him and tell him the water is infested with parasites and will make him very sick, very quickly. Cut to convict and hostages... Normally it would be completely out of character for McGarrett, a Navy SEAL who grew up on the Island, to make such a rookie mistake. It can be explained by the writers having to rewrite the episode to include Scott Cann's real-life leg injury. Since Danno couldn't have helped chase down the escapee and hostages using a cane in the rain forest, Chin accompanied McGarrett. The writers had to explain the sudden illness of the escapee and hostages, so that was left in with Chin, correcting McGarrett.

Also a footnote in Reaper Man notes that animals living in water is no guarantee that the water is safe to drink since they probably don't get out to go to the bathroom. In another subversion, Ponder Stibbons once shows the Archchancellor some water from the river Ankh under a microscope to show how much stuff is living in it. Ridcully declares that anything supporting that much life must be healthy. Despite the fact that you can draw a chalk outline on the river Ankh, many of the city's residents are convinced it must be safe to drink because it's passed through so many kidneys. There are fish that have evolved to survive in the Ankh, but they tend to explode when exposed to fresh water or air.

Not only do the characters native to time period freely top up every time they encounter a pool of fresh water, but even the girl from the future (whose modern living would likely make her much more prone to illness) does so. On top of this, the story is set during the feudal era where death, disease and rotting bodies on battlefields are commonplace. And that's before we get to the Youkai that live in, and use, pools of water as well. The only time we ever see a character avoid drinking water from a pond, it's because there's a dangerous Youkai living there, not because the water itself might not be safe to drink.

Cool, Clear Water / int_6c1234ed	comment	In Dwarf Fortress, water which you can't see anything in is drinkable, but "murky" water, generally found in places without running water, isn't. DF is still rather odd about this (as of 31.18). One level of standing water (or 7/7 units) will be stagnant and spread mud and can't be filtered any number of pumps, but a well over it will yield pure water. Any water level 8/7 or higher will also be pure. Also, toxins won't spread from their tile, so the corpse of a poison-bleeding creature will poison a tile for at least a game year, but the water flowing from it will still be safe. Subverted in that water, while drinkable, is not an appropriate beverage for dwarves. Water is for all sorts of neat tricks, but dwarves who drink water become unhappy because it does not contain alcohol. It is a wonder that this game allows dwarves to even think of manufacturing waterskins that cannot be filled with alcoholic drink... a problem the Syrupleaf Let's Play ran into, incidentally. This has since been rectified, though you can still order your soldiers to only carry water if you really want to.

Cool, Clear Water / int_7f5bc680	comment	Averted in Fallout, where a survival manual directly states that in this high-radiation, post-nuclear setting, clear water—especially if it's not running water—is most likely radioactive and should be avoided. When you consider the background radiation is high enough to produce irradiated rats the size of a man and irradiated scorpions that are bigger, this is probably good advice. Fallout 3 goes out of its way to warn you of this fact, as short of the major rivers, virtually any outdoor water pool has rising brown steam. Most still water sources like toilets and sinks are irradiated and there's even cults that consider irradiated water to be holy. Nothing stops you from drinking the water, and it does give a small amount of health back... but this game tracks your radiation poisoning (the higher it gets, the higher the stat penalties, and if it maxes out you die), and drinking the water will give you rads with each sip. Averted even further by DLC Broken Steel. If you activated purifier and put Modified FEV into it given to you by the Enclave President, the water from it will look no different but the hospitals in entire Wasteland will fill with people sick from it. If you drink it, it will decrease your statistics, and big enough consumption will kill you.

Cool, Clear Water / int_7fc78282	comment	Downplayed in The Lord of the Rings, when Frodo and Sam are entering Mordor. Sam comments that they will not find water to drink since orcs probably drink poison as water. Frodo responds that as foul as orcs are, they surely cannot live on poison, so he fills their water packs with the brownish water the orcs drink. Although it does taste foul and sicken them a little, it also helps them on their way. Averted earlier in Moria: Gandalf says that while there are water streams in Moria, some of them clean, this water is not safe for drinking, so they have to conserve water supply. Also averted earlier in Ithilien, as Faramir warns Frodo and Sam of drinking from any stream that flows from Imlad Morgul, the Valley of the Living Death.

There is one, however, that the party encounters while tripping on wild mushrooms that turns out to be a garbage-filled cesspool if they revisit it sober. Weird thing is, when your party thinks it's a hot spring, it functions just like a regular spring, making this a Clap Your Hands If You Believe variant on this trope. Of course, while you're tripping balls, Boney will stay clear of the "hot spring" altogether, on top of regularly barking when you approach the "people". Reason? Boney didn't eat the 'shrooms. In chapter three, Fassad and Salsa can visit a desert oasis guarded by a dung beetle (appropriately named Wan Sum Dung.) When the water is first approached, it's sparkling with freshness and heals Salsa up. After giving the beetle some dung... the water still sparkles, though it now smells "dung-like".

Cool, Clear Water / int_b4963c9f	comment	Deconstructed on Good Eats. Alton explains that just because surface water looks clean (like in beer commercials, for example), doesn't mean it actually is clean. In fact, more often than not, it isn't, because animals leave droppings near the water source, runoff from farms and even people's lawns can get into the water supply, and sometimes Corrupt Corporate Executives allow chemical waste to be dumped in or near the river (whether it's legal or not). Water treatment plants usually take care of the problem. As for ground water and how clean it is, that depends on how close to the surface it is. The higher up it is, the more likely it is to be contaminated. If, however, it's under bedrock and filtered through sediment, it almost always really is this trope.

Cool, Clear Water / int_cefc70e6	comment	Played completely straight in Japan Sinks 2020. After fleeing Tokyo, the family runs out of water (because they tried to share theirs with some elderly survivors who promptly took all of it). So the father decides that they should head into the mountains, then declares that the water in the first stream they come across is "good" after simply looking at it.

Cool, Clear Water / int_d2050b4c	comment	In Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, he's drinking from fountains again, except some of those fountains are in a castle that has been abandoned for an extended period and the stone has grown old, broken down, and covered with moss and plants. Admittedly, the water is clear and running, and the castle does turn out to have an aquifer. However, he has no qualms with drinking sea water, either.

Cool, Clear Water / int_df07d96e	comment	Defied in Lois & Clark. Clark and Lois ended up stranded on a deserted island and Lois was about to drink from a pond. Clark used his microscopic vision on the water and saw that it had bacteria. He suggested that Lois try to drink somewhere else. The pond had been deliberately contaminated by the Villain of the Week, and Clark "finds" a better source of water by punching a hole in a nearby rock to produce an instant spring.

Cool, Clear Water / int_e274c97	comment	In The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Trisha drinks some Cool Clear Water when she runs out of her bottled water. It causes a severe bout of vomiting and diarrhea, although she luckily manages to get over it relatively quickly. Less fortunately, that appears to be because it weakened her system enough that she got a worse illness, and her body just gave up on purging the toxins.

Cool, Clear Water / int_e694aadb	comment	In Death or Glory, the Imperial aqueduct in Prosperity Wells was full of clear, cool water ... but since Prosperity Wells was full of Orks, Cain and Jurgen stick with the water in their canteens rather than risk finding out the hard way what the Orks might have dropped in the aqueduct. (Cain admits that wading hip-deep in the aqueduct to get across town might have been risky, but it provided concealment and minimised the desert heat so he was willing to take the chance.) Later in the book his party does partake in a desert oasis, but their local guide vouches for it and it was that or die of dehydration.

Cool, Clear Water / int_ef6880c5	comment	In Long Live the Queen, there is background lore detailing this trope if the main character chooses to invest in the Lore stat. It reads as follows: "A Lumen once tried to lift the curse from an enchanted spring whose water was poisonous and glowed green. After dispelling the magic, she tasted the water and fell dead - the green glow was a not a curse, but a spell placed by a Lumen long before to warn everyone away from the spring's natural poison."

Cool, Clear Water / int_f7faa740	comment	Both subverted and played straight in Running Out of Time. Jessie, feeling thirsty after escaping from her fake 1840's village, stops to take a drink from water flowing through a ditch. An environmentalist stops her in time, telling her that despite the water's pristine appearance, it's nowhere near safe to drink. However, this also implies that Jessie's been able to drink from rivers back home with no ill effect. Of course, the rivers back home had been artificial so it would have been treated anyway.

The characters get stranded on a desert island, and when some of them go exploring for water sources, they carry a test kit to detect unsafe levels of arsenic and zinc. Every source they test turns out to be contaminated. One character, who has already exhibited paranoid behavior, is reluctant to believe that the water is poisonous (since after all, it looks fine); he thinks the others are trying to make him die of thirst.
