Bucket diagrams are so expressive, useful, and direct in the message they provide. Yes, these diagrams have everything to do with buckets and the water they contain. While the buckets themselves represent a source or destination, the water represents the financial liquidity. Buckets show items in a distribution, they represent the flow of things, or show collections of items. An empty bucket can indicate the capacity to which it can be filled. A bucket pouring water in another could represent distribution. You can have buckets that are full, empty, or somewhat full. And you can also pour the water from one bucket to another!
