-If standing water is low enough in a block space, it may "evaporate" and despawn. When water is less than 1/28 of a block, it slowly "disappears" from one end. <!--This seems to happen mostly when no more than one adjacent block contains water, resulting in the visual effect of retreating water as a series of low water blocks despawn. (makes little sense to me)-->
+If standing water is low enough in a block space, it may "evaporate" and despawn. When water is less than 1/28 of a block, it disappears from that block. This may allow water from an adjacent block to flow in, eventually lowering the water level in that block to less than 1/28 too. This effect can slowly clear large areas of shallow water.
 Also, if water fills less than one whole block of water on top of magma, it does not turn into [[basalt]] and instead evaporates into steam.
