Water Witch is a 1982 science fiction novel by Connie Willis and Cynthia Felice.
On the desert planet of Mahali, political power is held by a hereditary line of water witches who can sense and control water. A young con artist girl named Deza tries to impersonate a water witch, helped by the spirit of her recently dead conman father, who now resides in a small animal called a mbuzi.
David Dunham reviewed Water Witch for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "I think the setting would be easier to use in a campaign than the storyline situation. Part of the action takes place in underground caves, no longer used for travel, but which still serve as water channels. In some places there are traps - areas where the floor suddenly drops away, but is covered with water. In other places there are sluice gates, controlled by the City's computers, which can either block off escape or release water into your tunnel." [1]
