If my screenshots load onto TA then I can update my guide better.
The new DLC comes with a compressor and decompressor to transfer liquids around the map without the need for long pipelines. At the moment I could only get the achievement to pop in sandbox mode under survival and the buildings level 1 only. I tried on my preexisting campaign save, but no dice.
I started a new game on easy and built the base up. I mostly focused on carbonium and ironium with the necessary energy to power them. I upgraded headquarters to level 2 and got the communications hub so I could download research. After you download the research, which looks like 4 arrows pointing at a drop of water, you need to start by finding some mud on the map. I put a pump in the mud, a few pipelines, then hooked it up to a level one water filtering plant. Next was a few more pipes hooked up to a level 1 liquid compressor. (All of these buildings are under the shovel).
I went to a different part of the map and made some more power with wind turbines. I built a level 1 liquid decompressor, hooked up a few pipelines to it, and attached it to a cultivator. After the decompressor has power, highlight the building with the
button. Hit 
while the building is highlighted and it will bring up options for it. Click the middle button with the 4 arrows pointing to a drop of liquid. This brings up a second menu, which you will need to click the liquid you are trying to transfer. For me I was transferring water so I clicked that with the button to "equip it." It transferred the water from the compressor to the decompressor, through the pipes, and to the cultivator.
The achievement popped instantly for me when everything had power. I don't know if that was because I was trying to get this done campaign and it tracked my progress or not. I did NOT see my achievement progress update, it popped immediately.
If you need to troubleshoot, make sure everything is hooked up correctly and that you have enough power. If that doesn't work I would try making an extra compressor with its own pump/pipe/water purifier.
I will try to add screenshots if they upload to my TA account. Let me know if I can help

Do these actually work on the same map? I thought they should but couldn’t get them to work, but they did work between maps (for Morpheum). There was a patch earlier today for the DLC so maybe that fixed them. It’s worth noting that the compressors suck down an epic amount of power, it’s worth overbuilding your power by a lot before building even 1 or 2.

Can confirm mine only popped on a fresh survival map. Had the compressor and decompressor next to each other. As soon as i selected the output of the decompressor and they had power it popped, so it may have been tracking progress from the other save and not indicating it.
I will admit that the other save from my campaign playthrough is all kinds of buggy though. Can't research things and missing items. So results may vary.
