Water is an element in Final Fantasy V.
Lenna, Walse, and Istory Falls are associated with it lore-wise.

Elemental booster[]
The Elemental Power mix is the only way to boost water-elemental damage. In particular, the A parameter of the relevant damage formula is increased by 50%. Since the boost is applied to A (as opposed to M), the effect on the actual damage is higher than +50%, unless the target's magic defense (or defense for physical spells) is 0.
Notably, the Magus Rod, the Rune Chime, and the Chaos Orb boost all elements except for water (and also holy in the case of the Magus Rod).
