Mostly just cause for fancy water splash/wave effects without introducing swimming, but this can also slow any characters down passing through water (wading) if sufficiently deep and anything else.

Also a way to introduce water the player can move through without dying if the character is incapable of swimming and drowns instantly in deep water.

Short shallow strips on beaches and such do not count.
