Water

Water comes in several forms:

• as a potion of water
• in a fountain
• in a sink
• in a pool or moat
• in a rust trap, which somehow affects only worn armor and wielded objects
• on the Plane of Water

Some monsters are made of water, for example:

• water elemental
• water troll
• water demon

Water is that clear liquid that you probably know from real life. In NetHack, water can rust objects or drown you, among other things. In a fountain or as a potion of holy water or unholy water, water has more magical effects. In a sink, water can have bizarre effects; for example, it might mutate (polymorph) you when you drink it. The watery monsters don't actually tend to cause water damage.
