This is in contrast of the age old water being a static entity, possibly even at a static height. Some way for this was paved when scripted sequences of water interacting in more interesting ways were done, but this is the culmination of that. Insert a body of mass and simulate how it flows, impedes movement, fills rooms and so forth.
