Despite being surrounded by water, fresh drinking water in is harder to come by than you might think. Still, keeping Thirst levels up is necessary if you want to thrive on your new deserted island. In order to survive and keep themselves healthy in , you will want to replenish their Thirst meter whenever it is about to reach critical levels.
When starting out, the only place you can find fresh water in will be from coconuts. However, as you progress through their survival adventure and gain more skills, they will be able to craft a flask that can be used whenever you want.

After hacking at the coconut with a tool, a few hits will turn it into a "Drinking Coconut", which restores one bar of Thirst.
Coconuts can be grabbed straight from the trees you discover on the island, but sometimes you may need to climb a bit to reach them!

Some islands will also spawn Quwawa berries, which also refill Thirst. Keep in mind that these berries spoil quickly, but you can plant them to grow more in, unlike coconuts.

You can also hang items, such as coconut flasks, from Water Stills, as noted in the Reddit post from WabitaJankins below:
Creating a water storage vehicle to transport water in is vital for those who want to spend time exploring without having to pause to hunt for water. Coconut flasks can hold one drink, while Leather Waterskins can hold three. Finally, your initial raft in contains three rations that are a good source of food and water.
