Shooting locations
Director Clarence Badger recalled that the film had been shot near the Alabama Hills outside of Lone Pine, Inyo County, California.[4] The film was released on February 8, 1920, suggesting that filming took place in late 1919 or very early 1920. If this information is correct, Water, Water Everywhere was one of the earliest productions to take place at the Alabama Hills, which would later become a standard shooting location for many western films.[4]
