judean desert dating back to 132 135 ce depiction of a waterskin bearer in persepolis a waterskin is a receptacle used to hold water normally made of a sheep or goat skin it retains water naturally and therefore was very useful in desert crossings until the invention of the canteen though waterskins are still used in some parts of the world though it may have been used over 5 000 years ago by tribal peoples the first pictures of it are from ancient assyrians who used the bladders as floats in 3000 citation needed bce it also was used by large ancient empires such as rome before the advent of the canteen modern waterskins are often made of various plastic or rubber impregnated canvases or sometimes simply thicker transparent plastics and are often called water pouches water bags or water bladders such modern waterskins offer many features such as detachable straw hoses valves refill openings of various widths various closures and handles styles of covering or cases and removable cases or carry pouches a particular style often called hydration pack is distinguished by a flexible hose for convenient on the go drinking historical accounts edit the use of waterskins or skin bottles to transport water is documented in a wide range of historical sources in the 2nd century ce the mishnah compiled in judea in 189 ce mentions their common use among the inhabitants of the land 1 these skins after being flayed from the carcass dressed and prepared to contain liquid could hold as little as 7 kabs the equivalent of 168 eggs in volume or about 9 8 l 2 6 us gallons 2 2 imperial gallons 2 or far more goat skin bottles used to transport water were typically found all throughout the near east including the arabian peninsula where in yemen it was common in the 18th century to see a slave carrying a waterskin on his back or else 3 or 4 waterskins carried by donkey or by camel from the water source 3 most waterskins could hold between 18 and 27 5 l 5 and 7 us gallons 4 and 6 imperial gallons of water 3 the disadvantage of waterskins is that people who have fetched water in the skin bottle and who have drunk water from the same have complained of the water taking on the bad taste of the goatskin 4 uses edit in some societies waterskins were used to churn milk into butter by suspending the skin bottle with ropes between a tripod and two persons moving the waterskin violently back and forth between them the tosefta speaks of oil and wine also being stored in skin bottles 5 the bedouins of the negev would occasionally store clarified butter samen and olive oil in special skins called عُكة ʿukkah 6 their volume would be between 15 and 25 l 4 and 6 5 us gallons 3 5 and 5 5 imperial gallons preparation edit in the negev goat skins were used in making waterskins القربة al girbah and for making churning bags السعن al siʿin 7 after flaying the carcass and removing the hairs the skins were prepared by submerging the goat skin in a boiled bath solution containing the bark of either acacia raddiana or pistacia atlantica or else the root of sumac rhus tripartita or the rinds of pomegranates punica granatum and left in that state of immersion for 1 to 3 days 7 in arabic ʻ iṣām عصام is the tie of a waterskin which is bound round the head to confine the contents it is also the name of the strap that is used for carrying the waterskin the name of the cord itself
