When you are out and it gets cold, there are several ways to stay warm. Best way is layering clothing and being near a heat source like a campfire. But if you get a downpour of rain while you are building a shelter and get soaking wet, you may have limited amount of dry clothing to get into. The best thing to do is drink water.

So you found a water source but you have no idea if it is potable (or drinkable) or not. You can use a water filter, but if you don’t have one of those handy, you must boil the water before you consume it. You will need a pot to hold the water.
Cisterns or water catchment systems are a great way to collect water for purposes other than drinking, personal hygiene, and showering. I personally do not use collected rainwater for anything except for watering outdoor decorative plants and landscaping.
