From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Waterfall Model          A {software life-cycle} or {product life-cycle}       model, described by W. W. Royce in 1970, in which development       is supposed to proceed linearly through the phases of       {requirements analysis}, design, implementation, testing       (validation), integration and maintenance.   The Waterfall       Model is considered old-fashioned or simplistic by proponents       of {object-oriented design} which often uses the {spiral       model} instead.          Earlier phases are sometimes called "upstream" and later ones       "downstream".          Compare: {iterative model}.          [W. W. Royce, "Managing the Development of Large Software       Systems", Proceedings of IEEE WESCON, August 1970].          (1997-11-23)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Water of jealousy       a phrase employed (not, however, in Scripture) to denote the       water used in the solemn ordeal prescribed by the law of Moses       (Num. 5:11-31) in cases of "jealousy."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Water of purification       used in cases of ceremonial cleansings at the consecration of       the Levites (Num. 8:7). It signified, figuratively, that       purifying of the heart which must characterize the servants of       God.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Water of separation       used along with the ashes of a red heifer for the ceremonial       cleansing of persons defiled by contact with a dead body (Num.       19).
