It can be, it depends on your experiment. Independent variables are the variables in an experiment that will not change. If you want to do an experiment that tests how something reacts with water, then starting with a clean controlled water sample for each test would be necessary and an independent variable. Conversely, if you were testing the cleanliness of multiple water sources, then the ideology of clean water would be your dependent variable, which would change upon each testing. WIth your given information I cannot say whether or not you would want water to be either a dependent or an independent variable for your experiment.

What best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and an independent variable in a scientific investigation?
The independent variable is what you are changing in the experiment to get varied results. The dependent variable is the result of what you have changed. So the dependent variable depends on the independent variable. For example, if you are experimenting with the effect of water on height of a plant, the different amounts of water that you give the plant is the independent variable. The height of the plant that you measure as the result of the water is the dependent variable.
What are the controls and variables for Seperating salt from water?
I dont know about the control but the independent variable is the amount of salt water and the dependent variable is the amount of water and salt rendered.
What is a resultant variable?
A resulting variable is the variable in the experiment that you don't change. As when the manipulating variable is the variable that you do change.
What is the dependent variable in an non-experiment project which describes the water cycle?
If you are not doing an experiment, there is no variable.
You are planning an experiment to find out whether the rate at which water freezes depends on the shape of its container What is the manipulated variable and what is the responding variable?
The manipulated variable is what you change (the shape of the container) The responding variable is the result (the temperature at which the water in the container freezes). (Don't forget the time factor!)
How much water is in an orange the variable?
Your variable in the 'How Much Water is in an Orange' experiment will be- Independent variable: The amount of water in the orange. Why? Because this is what you physically changed. Dependent variable: The weight of the dried orange. Why? Because this is what happened after you removed the water.
What is a dependnent variable?
A dependent variable depends on the independent variable. If you are doing an experiment about how temperature affects the heat of water then the independent variable would be the temperature, as that is what you are going to change, and the dependent variable the water as the temperature of the water depends on the temperature surrounding it.
What are the dependent and independent variable in what is the water cycle?
independent variable is the water i dont know
What is the control and independent and dependent variable in the 'how many drops of H2O can fit on a penny'?
The controlled variable is the penny. The independent variable is the water. The dependent variable is the amount of water able to fit on the penny.
What independ variable?
An independent variable in science is the part of an experiment that you are purposely changing. For example, if you were to do an experiment on what type of water is best for plants, then the "special water", which might be salt water is the independent variable.

Can elements with variable valency can be stored in water?
Yes elements with variable valency can be stored in water. example Phosphorus.
What is an independent variable That has to do with science?
When graphing in science, the independent variable is the variable graphed on the x-axis; the dependent variable is the variable graphed on the y-axis. To determine the name of the variable, one only needs to find the variable changed by the other variable and the variable remaining unaffected by the other variable. For example, someone wanted to find the the increased temperature of water over a stove during a period of time. Since increasing water temperature cannot affect time and increasing time can affect the water becomes the dependent variable and time becomes the independent variable.
What is the dependent variable between oil and water?
Water
What is the definition of manipulative variable?
A manipulated variable is also called an independent variable. It is the thing in an experiment you change or manipulate. For example, if i am doing an experiment to see how water affects the growth on plants, the amount of water is the manipulated variable.
What a testable question about the natural world that contains an independent variable and dependent variable?
That the surface tension of water varies with the water's temperature. In this case, temperature would be the independent variable and surface tension would be the independent variable.
