- "There was this drylander who was asked which was more important, a literjon of water or a vast pool of water? The drylander thought a moment and then said: "The literjon is more important. No single person could own a great pool of water. But a literjon you could hide under your cloak and run away with it. No one would know.""

Literjon MK6 - (Dune Awakening)
A Literjon was a one litre containing for water. They were primarily used on Arrakis, a desert planet, and were made of dense, shatterproof plastic with positive seal.[1] Paul and Jessica Atreides drank from two Literjons when they fled from Arrakeen into the desert.[2] The Honored Matres granted Lucilla one Literjon of water when she held captive on Junction.[3]
