.com needs to know the ip address for the DNS servers for water.com. These
records that need to exist in .com are called glue records.  .com needs to
know where dswadns1.water.com and dswadns2.water.com and this is done via
glue records.

The problem is that .com has the records. In the real world you provide glue
to your registrar and they provide the glue to the delegating zone.

dig confirms that .com had the glue for water.com.
