13. Where would the water supply be stored and, as it floats, how would it be dispensed? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

Water is typically stored in sealed containers that allow astronauts to drink through straws or self-sealing lids. Water used in systems is sealed to prevent leakage into the ship's air. Floating water can be a hazard to both astronauts and their equipment. For instance, if an astronaut heats up water and droplets escape, they might float over and scald another astronaut.
