The Prophet ﷺ, was asked about water (in desert country) and what is frequented by animals and wild beasts. He replied: When there is enough water to fill two pitchers, it bears no impurity. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 63)
سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْمَاءِ وَمَا يَنُوبُهُ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ وَالسِّبَاعِ؟ فَقَالَ «إِذَا كَانَ الْمَاءُ قُلَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يُحْمَلِ الْخَبَثَ»

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about water and how some animals and carnivorous beasts might drink from it.

At-Tirmidhi said: "This is the saying of Ash Shafa'i, Ahmad and Ishaq. They say that when the water is two Qullahs then nothing makes it impure, as long as it does not change its smell, and its taste. And they say, it is approximately fifty Qirbahs (waterskins)."
