Magnets do have an effect on water.Here's a simple experiment I did in High school take an icicle tie it onto a thin string then take four or five refrigerator magnets and while someone is holding the string or its tied onto something, move the magnets toward the icicle. You will see the icicle start spinning away from the magnets. If you have 10 or 15 magnets it may even start to make full circles.

Water is affected by a magnetic field. This is due to the polarity of the bonds that connect one water molecule to another. Additionally, magnetic fields increase the melting point of water and change the refractive index.

No. In fact there are some compasses that utilize water as a surface. If the water caused a problem with the magnetic field of the earth, it would be useless for creating a compass; it would never be correct.

OK not to quote me on this but I'm pretty sure pure water can't, it is used to reduce magnetic fields and as an energy buffer.

but if the water had allot of dissolved metals in it like iron I suppose if it flowed and keep those particles moving they would create a magnetic field.

Same way living animals give of a faint field due to the iron in their blood moving.

How does the weight of a magnet affect its strength?

Magnetism is the number of magnetic moments per unit of volume. It is the volume of the magnet which determines the magnetism. If an object has great weight and great volume, it will be a strong magnet. If an object has great weight but lesser volume, the magnetism will be weaker.
