For dinner and breakfast I normally need 3L of water . But if I hike a few miles then have my breakfast later at a water source down the trail, I only need to carry 1.5-2L water. Usually before a pass there are some creeks or small lakes, so the distance of carrying the water up should not be long.

Yes, I've noticed this too. The established campsites and guides sometimes overlook great sites with great views over spots that may have easier access to water. I don't mind hauling a little extra water for a great view for the evening and morning.
