And now, for the pedant in me. I would recommend against naming
functions with initial capital letters. In many languages, this implies
a new type (like your Water class). so CombineWater should be combineWater.
Do you mean implies by the dominant coding conventions, or by language syntax? (Indulging the curious pedant in me.)
In many OO languages, it is tradition to name types with capital letters (TFoo anyone?) and functions / methods with initial small then caps (camelCase).
Haskell actually enforces this rule (nifty functional language). Python and it share a lot in common.
(As an anti-example)
Erlang enforces capital letters for variable names ONLY. A little odd and definitely takes some getting used to.
