Boondocking and Water?
I'm wondering where where those that are boondocking or say staying at Walmart lots get there water at?

Most Forest Service campgrounds around here have NO dump station (and no garbage service), and the fresh water supply is limited. Some of the campgrounds have hand pumps on the cisterns that a water thief can NOT be used on. It is against the rules to dump RV waste of any kind into the vault toilets.
Therefore, water conservation is of primary importance. Filling your fresh water tank (mine is 100 gallons) with a funnel and bucket is not fun. If the waste tanks get full it means a trip to town with the RV. "Town" might be anywhere from 5 miles to 40 miles away.
Again, water conservation is absolutely VITAL! That means minimal dish washing, NO showers (personal hygiene can be maintained with a half gallon of water in the bathroom sink every other day or even every third day. "Wet Wipes" work just fine, as well.) With a little thought, you can find many ways to reduce your water consumption. For example, do you tend to leave a trickle of water running while brushing your teeth? If so, STOP THAT!! There are many things that we all do without thinking that waste water.
THINK! CONSERVE!
