It does work in water. When things appear to float on water it is because the weight of volume of the water displaced by the object, is equal to the weight of the object. [This is Archimedes principle.]
Submarines change the depth at which they lie, by adjusting the buoyancy of the vessel. By pumping water out of tanks in the sub, and replacing that with air that was previously stored in compressed form in other tanks.
Another example of gravity working in water, is that bubbles rise. The bubble is less dense than the water, and is buoyed upwards by the more dense water, which descends, for then the bubble:water system is in its lowest energy state.

Gravity is also responsible for bringing water down to its base level - that of the sea's surface.

Does gravity work through water?
Yes. There's no material known that insulates against gravity.
How does gravity help water wheel turn?
Gravity is the force responsible for pulling the water down to Earth, and the water in turn turns the wheel. So in effect gravity is doing all the work.
Why is there gravity on earth but there is no gravity in the water?
The reason why is because of air. Air is just made up of atoms and gravity works on holding down mass and air has no mass. Where water is a liquid and has mass so gravity holds it down. So when you jump in the water you have less mass then the water does so gravity does not work on you when in the water.
How does gravity have an effect on density?
it doesnt realy
How does a pool heater work?
it doesnt work, it breaks it doesnt work, it breaks it doesnt work, it breaks
How does gravity cause erosion of the earth surface?
gravity doesnt, it is water and heat that does
Why doesnt a string work in the same way as gravity?
Mainly because the two are utterly unrelated.
Why doesnt soil always stay where it is formed?
Soil can be transported by wind, moving water, glaciers and gravity.

What is the second greatest source of gravity in space?
Gravity doesnt have a source.

How does a watershed work?
By gravity. Water always runs downhill.

Does gravity attract everything together?
No Magnetism As Weel Wich dOESNT iNCLUDE gRAVITY :)
What do you do if you have no contact solution?
you could use water, however it doesnt work as well.
What two characteristics of earth allow liquid water to exist?
-Gravity (so it doesnt float away) -Temp (not too hot or cold)
