Water is an odorless, tasteless, colorless [[liquid]]. When people describe the flavor of water they are referring to impurities found in it (see [[mineral water]], [[bottled water]]).

The chemical formula for water is H<sub>2</sub>O, two [[hydrogen]] and one [[oxygen]] [[atom]]. This can be read as "hydrogen oxide", such usage is rare and potentially misleading (see [[DHMO]]).
