Soda cans can be found everywhere and in high numbers. If you prefer to have your own multi-use source of water, search for a canteen (water bottle). Some of them are full from the start, some need to be filled. An empty canteen is strikethrough with red in the inventory window.

In order to fill up the canteen, you need to find a source of sweet water or a well (present at almost each city and village). While close to a water source, press [RMB] on an empty canteen in your inventory and choose Fill Water Bottle.

It's a good idea to always have two canteen with you, as you always have a spare one while you search for a source to fill up the empty one.
