Bruce Lee believe it or not was also a philosophist and believed that water had its own life and conscience in its own way.

Easy. No, it does not.

Consciousness is ill defined in any colloquial sense. In cognitive research it is defined by the attributes of cognition.

Water does not have cognitive capabilities so by any scientific definition, the answer would be no.

Water Cronkheit and Barbara Waters had. According to extant evidence. No proof, though.

EDIT: In the original of this post I wrote "available". I changed it "extant", however, because this latter is a much cooler word.

Interesting you bring this topic up, but I kid you not, I have read stories about relating to springs and cold water as "lively".

The whole thing of the idea of that spring water is better than just a dug well actually resulted that many people today buy bottle spring water. The problem is, it's not spring water anymore, since it's kept in giant containers in New Jersey.

If you want the real thing, you must go and directly drink from the spring and bathe in the (hot) spring and feel the difference. Once you remove it into a bottle or container, it looses its "lively"-ness.

By my definition of 'consciousness' yes it does.

Everything does.

Anything that can interact with anything else has a degree of consciousness.

I got in a water fight one time.

I accused it of being "all wet".

I went up north to visit some snow. They were a bunch of flakes. Then all they did was give me the cold shoulder.

I agree with this.
The only problem with that is that is throws away the complexity of cognition that make the standard definition meaningful.

True. So what we need is a different word for what JB and I are talking about. I don't know if the word exists yet.
