World Weavers' Championship

Water is essential to life on Earth. Water makes up 60-75% of human body weight. A person could survive a month without food but wouldn’t survive 3 days without water.

About 71% of the Earth is covered in water.

Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid.

Waterways provided an early mode of travel and have been used to mark the borders of territory. Water is used in cleaning and cooling and cooking.

Water has multiple forms as a solid, liquid and vapour. It has many more symbolic meanings and universal cultural significance.

Today’s prompt is something of a free prompt in that I’m not going to tell you how to interpret this one. Whatever you think of as the most fitting or meaningful is what you are going to cover. That might be the threat of flooding, long-awaited rain, a religious observance, a way in which water is used… show me what water means for your characters.

Is this water literal and physical? Is it metaphoric, symbolic, or mystic?
What does it do? What is its place in your world?
What does this source of water mean to your characters? Do they fear it, use it, admire it?
What is done to control this source water? To channel or obstruct it?
