Water is a very important element for the life of living things. Like plants need water to grow. There are many verses that talk about water in the Quran. In Arabic, water is called the word “al-maa”. This research was conducted to find out the meaning and nature of water in the Qur'an from a scientific perspective and the methods of the mufassirs in interpreting the Kauniyyah verses. This research is library research using the thematic interpretation method (thematic), namely collecting verses of the Qur’an related to water, conducting an analysis with the interpretation of tahlili, and then draw conclusions.
