water carriers
Those transporting liquid
Water carriers are people who transport water, historically by hand in containers.
The term extends to those who do unglamorous support work for others—fetching, carrying, handling logistics while someone else gets credit: Every successful executive has water carriers who make things run.
In astrology, the Water Carrier is Aquarius.
