Bring more water than you think you need.
And water purification tablets or a filter system, just in case.
I pack a Life Straw. Saved my tail once. Cut the top off a beer can and sucked down creek water. Tasted like flat tap water.
My first aid kit always has some Aquatabs! They're such a small thing to easily leave in there just in case. In that same vein, I have some pills apart fire starters about the size of earplugs in there as well.
