Most of the day, Burgess can either be found near Water World, or in the general vicinity of Sandrock's water supply. He'll sometimes wander around town and its outskirts, occasionally visiting the church.
Burgess Gifts Guide
Despite going on about how important water is, it's not something that Burgess downright loves (though he'll still be happy to receive it). An easy item to give that he likes is a copper pot, which can be mass produced once you have access to copper.
