When do you use the sign WATER?

WATER is one of the most requested first signs, and parents signing with babies often teach it before anything else. It covers asking for a glass at a restaurant or talking about swimming. Food and drink signs cluster tightly, so it travels with DRINK, MILK, and COFFEE.

The challenge covers it in Lesson 51, the food staples lesson of Book 2.
