That's happened to me several times. Known bug. I have never found a fix for it, I just trash it and make another.

I think (and this is just speculation) that the game swaps one item for another. There's no volume system in the game, no way to record the amount of liquid in a canteen. Take a drink from a full canteen, and the full canteen is deleted, and replaced with a canteen 2/3rds full. There's a version of each level of the canteen. I don't think they're supposed to "break".

Are you refering to the glitch where canteen shows like "1" water in it and you can't refill it back to full no matter what?

I had that few times and many times in Scorched Earth.

What fixed it for me was placing the canteen inside a tap and pressing use then removing it and putting it back in refilled it properly.

Using s+? Sometimes I have this weird bug where I can't drink from the tap and if I place my canteen in the tap it breaks. Haven't found a way to repair the canteen I've just made a new one, and to fix the tap not working I have to show all pipelines and remove the tap and place it again... :S

This is a bug I have encountered before in SP. Sometimes when you log in your plumbing will randomly no longer work, and actually be corrupted - putting a vessel it it to refill will break the vessel, and you cannot refill thirst directly from the tap. The solution is to demolish and replace the taps, then it should work again. If this is happening, be careful to try and drink from a tap before putting containers in it to make sure you don't break them.

Edit: I only had this happen on mod maps but it may be universal

Happened to me several times. Sometimes a water tap will bug out and break your canteen like this, and it is irreparable.

Best fix I found was modding a different method for filling water. I use a kitchen sink or a stone water jug. These never bug and break my canteen.
