	Waterbearing can also be broken down into Contact and Non-Contact methods. Contact waterbearing involves direct contact between the mouth of the person drinking and the water container. This is most often seen in [[war scenario]]s where water supplies are being provided in large [[milk]] jugs equipped with plastic tubing 'straws.' Non-contact waterbearing provides a means of refreshment in which no deliberate contact is permitted, and in the case of accidental contact (contamination), the equipment is immediately removed from the field and sanitized. Non-contact waterbearing utilizes sport-topped bottles, or bottles with projection-straws, so that water can be given without direct mouth to mouth contact. Some Kingdoms have adopted rules requiring all Waterbearing Guilds to provide Non-Contact waterbearing.		Waterbearing can also be broken down into Contact and Non-Contact methods.

There have been many ingenious ways developed of getting water to weary fighters. Some waterbearers carry large water barrels carried on their backs with plastic tubing for straws, others carry a box with compartments filled with smaller waterbottles, each bearing the name of the fighter who the bottle belongs to.
