      This question is very interesting and it has made me think to answer it.
      If we refer to the meaning of feelings as an emotional state, I think I can not say that that happens.

      However, it is true that water behaves differently depending on the material it comes into contact with. We have all used a piece of kitchen paper to collect water and we have seen how it “gets” inside the paper. Or as the water seems to not like to be with raincoats that we carry when it rains. If we could say that the water feels more comfortable being with some materials than with others and this is something I have been working on for the last 4 years, make a classification of where the water is more or less comfortable and how to change these materials to make us more useful.

      In this video of General Electric you can see how these “feelings” of water are used to improve our day to day.
