0010313: Contaminant water is useless & transferred by buckets into non-usable containers
When water is in its item or contaminant form outside of a bucket (which converts it into liquid 7/7) it is a useless material prepared to be cleaned when spilled.

Objects valid to be filled with "item water" do not have the intended properties of liquid state water and aren't selected for drinking or cleaning either.
Fill up a aquarium with water and observe the [10] water objects inside, then release that aquarium with a lever mechanism and it will spill contaminant water like a melting ice stone. It will be transferred there by buckets.

Alternatively create a reaction in which a barrel is filled with water and it'll be largely useless unless the barrelled reaction is used in something else.
Ice stones turning into non-useful contaminent water rather than 1/7ths issue report: 0000360

Water being a un-usuable object has negative implications for the resolution or revision of 0010302 as water transferred to a barrel will be unusable compared to its defacto liquid 7/7 state form.

Item water is only useful when it is transferred into a bucket, which can be done through modded reactions like the following link to the Bay12 forums for the intention spilling into pond zones or allowing dwarves to drink from the bucket in hospital ( http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=140015.msg5603654#msg5603654 [^] )
