11. Would an efficient water supply be hard to manage? Could the water supply become contaminated? (A K2S Question)

The longer a mission lasts, the higher the potential for a catastrophic contamination of the water system. If contamination were sufficiently bad, safely completing the mission might become difficult or impossible.
