DIRECT ANSWER

Water comes from lakes, underground deposits, melted Ice, rain formed from Steam reaching the sky, and Lumlings. It makes Wet Sand and Wet Seeds, but careless use can drain finite reservoirs.

Sources and reactions

Water touching Sand replaces both pixels with Wet Sand. Water touching a Seed produces a Wet Seed. Ice can be melted and Steam can return as rain after reaching the sky.

Flow and troubleshooting

Blocks, Conveyor Belts, Kinetic Presses and Flux Emanators block Water. Droplets that fail to settle can eventually evaporate, so build enclosed basins and visible overflow paths.
