Yes, tortoises should always have access to clean, fresh water. Even species that rarely drink still benefit from hydration through soaking and food moisture. A shallow water dish allows safe drinking and soaking without risk of drowning. Dehydration can cause digestive issues and kidney problems. Changing the water daily helps prevent bacteria buildup and keeps the enclosure hygienic.
