Water is often seen on the cross-country course of an event. The water complex on a course may be as simple as a water crossing at the lowest levels of eventing, to a combination involving several jumps into and out of water at the highest levels. At all levels, however, the footing of the complex should be firm, and it is important for the competitor to walk into the water during her course walk to test the footing and deepness of the water, and any drop-off areas in the complex.
USEA rules state (2005) that water may be no more than 14" deep.
