In the trenches, there was water. Like when you can't play a football match, you have a waterlogged pitch. If you stood in the mud and water in the trenches for too long, you caught trench foot, which is sometimes fatal if you don't remove the gangrene.

Was the trenches always waterlogged?
WWI Trenches versus Water/Mud Although many if not most of the trenches of WWI were plagued with standing water and mud, not all were. Where the contour of the ground allowed, the bottom elevation of the trenches would be sloped to a point where the trench opened to lower ground, allowing enough drainage to greatly reduce or eliminate standing water. Although an improvement, it did not prevent the trench bottoms from being a quagmire of mud during rainy periods.
