When we calculate the pressure of water, we typically use a reference pressure of one atmosphere (atm) when the water surface is open to air. This is because atmospheric pressure is present on the surface of the water, and it is also exerting a force on it that contributes to the total pressure.

However, if the water is under a different type of pressure, such as in a closed container or pipe, we would need to take into account that pressure as well when calculating the total pressure. In those cases, we would use the appropriate reference pressure according to the conditions of the system.
