You can take water from a river with a portable pump if you have to. A
fan trip on the Emu Bay Railway did just this a few years ago. It might
fill the boiler with crud (although in a forested area the tannin might
do the boiler some good), but it is possible.
You can also tow a tank of water behind you.
