Pretty irreverent post here, not intended to be taken super cereal, but I just find it interesting.
So, water is actually a bit of an interesting liquid. Notably, it has a significantly higher surface tension than it ought to by the common physics of liquids as we understand them. At the molecular level this is caused by a very large number of 'ordered layers' of water molecules at the surface. Now, because of this the ordered layers tend to expel ions, which accumulate just beneath it. This means there are two distinct regions with different charges right next to each other at the surface of water. To add to this, from what I understand the process of ordering these layers is affected by temperature and UV light, which change regularly and consistently with the sun cycle.
Anon would love to actually dive into researching such things legitimately, but thought they would share what they know, because anon thinks it's neat.
