After water or anything else falls to the ground it has no potential energy anymore.
When mas is elevated it has potential energy. When it falls, the potential is converted to kinetic energy. That energy is then converted to light, heat, sound or compression of the object on to which the mass fell. But then the mass has no more potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is clearly relative to the observer, if the object and the observer are both on the ground then the potential is zero. However if you dig a deep hole and the observer is at the bottom, then the object is released to fall down the hole, it has potential relative to the observer.
As on object approaches 'ground' from a height (or any location acting as a zero point of datum), it's gravitational potential energy is increasingly manifested as kinetic (movement) energy.
A stationary object, suspended above ground, has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As the object falls to ground, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy proportionally increases, until the point of contact with the ground. At this point the object has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy.

Terminal velocity of a falling object is the point at which the gain of kinetic energy from falling is in equilibrium with the energy lost due to frictional effects (air resistance ect.).

a ball at the top of a hill has potentail energy and when it is rolled is has kinetic.
Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.
Let's take an example: gravitational potential energy. An object has more potential energy if it is raised to a higher position. The energy comes from whatever raised it up, although it is also possible (as in the case of meteorites) that the object was never on the ground in the first place.Let's take an example: gravitational potential energy.

When an object is dropped, its potential energy decreases. This is because potential energy is a result of an object's position or height above the ground. As the object falls, it loses height, which leads to a decrease in potential energy. At the same time, the object gains kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
Any object that is above the reference level (usually taken as ground level) has potential energy, according to the formula PE = mgh.Any object that is above the reference level (usually taken as ground level) has potential energy, according to the formula PE = mgh.Any object that is above the reference level (usually taken as ground level) has potential energy, according to the formula PE = mgh.Any object that is above the reference level (usually taken as ground level) has potential energy, according to the formula PE = mgh.
When it is moving.
object having height possess potential energy.Object having motion possess kinetic energy.
If you are told in the question that the object is moving then it most likely posses kinetic energy. When it is not on the ground, it also possess potential energy, gravitational potential energy to be precise. In this case, the bird possesses both.
The potential energy of the box on the ground is considered to be zero. Potential energy is the energy that is stored within an object due to its position or state. Since the box is already at ground level, it does not possess any potential energy.
Once the object has reached the ground, its kinetic energy is zero.
a ball at the top of a hill has potentail energy and when it is rolled is has kinetic.

You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.
potential energy is the energy created due to stress on an object, Kinetic energy is the energy an object possess due to its motion, so a dog sleeping has neither of both.
Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
Double the first potential energy.
