==Evaporation==
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.

This may allow water from an adjacent block to flow in and repeat the process, eventually lowering the water level in the other 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.
