As the explorers of the world traveled around, water and food were always an issue when exploring those hard to reach places. Most of the time they could hunt or gather food, though not always, but sometimes water was hard to find. So the explorers would have to carry a lot of heavy water.
A ranger/scout, who loved to explore those hard to reach places, asked his friend, a mage, to help him with this problem. The mage, in turn, came up with the waterskin of holding. This waterskin is normal sized, usually with runes painted on the outside and a stout brass or steel cap. They can be actual skins, metal, wood or glass, depending on what the mage prefered. The mage actually casts an extra dimensional space upon the bottle and the bottle serves as an opening for it. So all sorts of water can be held in the bottle.
There is a limit to the amount of water, however. There is only about a month worth of water for one person in each one. They can be refilled manually, though it does take time (1d4 hours). They are very sought after by adventurers and armies alike. Few know how to make them so if someone finds a waterskin of holding they are worth holding on to.
