The water that has traveled a long distance and become droplets of mist or dew is often referred to as “ drifting water.” This type of water is usually quite pure because it collects impurities least. As for its taste, it largely depends on the environment through which it travels.
Typically speaking, drifting water can be either warm (open water) or cool (rainwater). Open water, particularly surface water in tropical regions, may have algae growth that gives it a mild flavor and slightly salty taste due to evaporation. In contrast, rainwater tends to have less particles suspended within it which could affect its purity.
Whether you should drink drifting water depends on the location where it comes from, as well as local sanitation conditions. If collected in an uncontaminated area such as after a clean snowfall and properly stored without bacterial growth risk then there would be little cause for concern about drinking purity. In some cases, though people might have different perceptions of this type of water.
So to sum up, drifting water can be both warm (open water) or cool depending on the route it has traveled. Whether you want to drink it will largely depend on its collection site and storage condition. Enjoy your adventure with a healthy perspective!
