Talk with Mere to get a job running 3 heavy Water Barrels, one to each of 3 different towns:

• In Broken Hills, deliver to Marcus (main entrance)
• In Den, deliver to Frankie in his bar, The Hole (east side)
• In San Francisco, deliver to Lao Chou in his shop (main entrance)

You have the option of running 1 barrel at a time, or taking all 3 at once. The problem is, they are heavy, so if your Strength is less than 8, you likely will be walking for at least the first leg of the journey, even if you shed all your other gear. Of course, you can use Drugs to mitigate this.

You can deliver the barrels in any order, but most people go straight north to Broken Hills first since it's the closest.

This job is a great way to get XP since it pays well, especially if you use a car. It requires using no ammo (except for fuel for your car, and earns you some Caps along the way.

NOTE: For optimal efficiency, it's best to use one of the Vehicles and have a safe parking place at each of the delivery points, as well as Hub. Bring some Tools and some SEC to keep your car going.

NOTE: A "Water Barrel" item might appear as a Caravan Box when dropped on the ground, and might not appear in your Inventory correctly at all, or as an invisible item. If invisible, they are still there and can still be delivered - you just need to run the game's updater so your client can obtain the proper image file.

When you've delivered all 3 Water Barrels, go back to Hub and talk with Mere to get paid. Be careful to choose option 2 in dialogue to get paid. If you choose option 1, you tell him you lost the barrels. In that case you do not get paid.

NOTE: You can lose as many crates as you want or happen to, no problem.
NOTE: If you deliver some, or all crates, but tell Mere you lost them, the NPCs you successfully delivered to in that waterrun will refuse to accept more crates. In that case get 3 new crates, deliver the ones you still need to and discard the others. Ignore the NPCs that don't accept crates. Go back to Mere and choose dialog option 2 That was quite the haul! But I'm done. Where's my money? as if nothing happened. You then can normally continue your waterruns.
