There's probably more but I'd have to rewatch all every episode.
Is it leading to something, like the return of the Sea Devils in Season 5, or just a series of coincidences?
The Snowmen
The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe
The whole Ruby thing, spoiler alert, but that's how Billie Piper's final resolution at the end of The Ruby in the Smoke.
You could do another list and focus on references to "Darkness." Perhaps on "light" and/or "heat" as well.
But water is such a basic element references to it can be found in almost any series of stories. Pick virtualy any sci-fi or fantasy franchise.
