This is an old issue that is a lot more common in 1.18 because of the terrain.

This is specific to savanna, since those farms follow the terrain, thus exposing the water. The water doesn't tick at first, so it just hangs there. But then once the crop ticks it causes the water flow, causing savanna villages in hilly terrain to be overrun with waterfalls. 

Can confirm this in 1.18 Pre-release 1.

I'd also like to request ownership of this ticket since the current reporter has been inactive since July of 2019. 🙂

I'm still keeping up to date with this. I just don't have the time playing snapshots anymore so I've not been able to check it all the time.

Has mojang considered just not spawning the water? It's not actually needed for farmland, the crops just grow a lot slower without it (and dry farmland without anything planted in it reverts back to dirt pretty fast, but not faster than villagers replant). Maybe replace the water with more farmland+crops so it doesn't make a 1 block deep hole that villagers keep jumping in and out of (the jump out can trample crops last I checked).

Only drawback I can think of is if the villagers don't have enough to replant every space they'll start losing spaces.

Could Mojang do something like in the plains villages?

@unknown, what you're most likely experiencing there is MC-140780. 😃

Still a problem as of 1.18 full release.

Another solution to consider is to allow every water block in savanna village farms to be surrounded by farmland blocks on all four sides, similar to how dark oak trees generate with dirt below to prevent floating root.

I might also suggest renaming this ticket to something like "Water in savanna village farms generates exposed to air/crops/vegetation on slopes", since the current title makes it sound like the issue is an invalid block state.

The best solution I can think of would be to replace the water with waterlogged acacia leaves since they do not allow water to spread.

They should generate a farmland block surrounding the water.
