I solved my waer problem by getting a large- one gallon- jug that is used by 
medical community to hold water and laxitive to clean out patent before 
colonoscopy... It is large, has a screw top and has a -big- handle.  That's 
the key for me as I have big hands and milk-water jugs have only a two 
finger handle. That begins to cut after a while. Full handle uses whol hand 
and arm.

I covered it with colored duct tape and carried for many hundred miles. I 
found the weight helped use my shoulders and arms vs putting all the weight 
on my back. I'm not a fan of camelbacks etc.

I am often amazed at those who discount the availability and potability of 
water as they travel far from the parking lot. Long distance people respect 
water.  Day trippers and section hikers can get in trouble easily.

Good luck.
