I also love this essay by Charles Sepulveda about my hometown river, the Santa Ana, that conceptualizes a practice of living as guests with the land

as ever, Christina Sharpe's In the Wake is foundational to thinking of water in the anti-Black weather of this world

off the top of my head, I'd add Marsh-River-Raft-Feather by Clarissa Alvarez and petals, and M Archive by Alexis Pauline Gumbs (Undrowned may be more obviously on-theme but I personally prefer M Archive!)
