While trying to survive in the scorching hot sands of Arrakis in Dune Awakening, your water discipline becomes imperative, especially when dehydration causes you to lose health, making you an easy target for enemies.
There are multiple sources of getting water in Dune Awakening, but the most reliable one that you’ll find in the early game is by using the Blood Purifier. The building converts the blood of your enemies into pure drinking water, and it can be a valuable addition to your base.

The Blood Purifier in Dune Awakening unlocks after you put in research points under the Journey: Blood from water tab, which is the fourth tab. You must unlock everything before the Blood Purifier, including the Exsanguination kit that helps you extract blood from the dead enemies and store it.
After you have progressed through the tutorial to unlock and research the Exsanguination kit, craft it along with the Blood Sack. Now, you’re ready to defeat some enemies, and you can use your Exsanguination kit on the dead ones to extract their liquid into your sack. Once you’re done, go back to your base with 70 Salvaged metal collected from the machines near you. You can now put a point to unlock the Blood Purifier and build it using your construction builder, and make your way to the Refineries menu to find the building.

Before using the Blood Purifier, ensure your base has a stable power source, as the Blood Purifier requires 10 energy to function properly. Once you have enough electricity, use the Energy calls to power the Blood Purifier in your base. Press E to activate it and deposit the blood from your sacs. The blood will now slowly turn into water that you can press F to drink whenever you want to raise your hydration levels.
You can deposit up to 6,000 ml of blood and convert and store 1,000 ml at a time. Continue to consume it to allow your Blood Purifier to transform your blood into water for optimal hydration. You can also manage the Blood Purifier to enable or disable it, saving Energy. You can also adjust some general settings to ensure that nobody else can use your buildings to hydrate themselves.
There are other sources to increase your water intake, such as Dew Flowers, but you should not consume too much of it, as it can cause nausea. In the later stages, you can also craft better clothes, which should have the ability to recycle your drained water and restore some immediately to prevent the hydration from dropping too frequently.
