The two most important symbols / themes in the novel are water and walking. These first appeared in the title "A long walk to the water". Both can be understood in various ways. First, Nya walks a long way like everyday, bringing impure water to her family. Secondly, all the young people in Salva and the lives of young people really go to the water, and he will bring his people through the construction of the well. Other examples of water are also part of this book. Nya puts his arm in the mud of the lake and tries to bring water to the surface. No matter how muddy you are, the water that Salva encountered while trying to escape from the war. At first it is the Nile. Salva said his father was very rich and said he was accustomed to the food, but he was surprised at the blessings of the Nile River - the meals of people living on the island. The Nile is always a source of life, and every year the water overflows from the banks of the river to grow the Nile Delta.

A long walk to the water is a book for young people, but it throws some doubt about the essence of existence. One time, Salva saved the life of a man who died of dehydration by witnessing the sacrifice of a part of the water supply to the adult he was traveling - the behavior that seriously compromised their own lives. Salva wants to know if he does what they do and endanger his life to help others. Interestingly, Salva never answered his own question, which shows that many of the ethical problems he encountered in Sudan were too difficult for any simple answer. Nonetheless, "traveling in the water" indicates that wealthy and fortunate people have an obligation to help unhappy people survive. For example, Salva was adopted as an American couple, after growing up in New York, founded a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide clean water to poor Sudan's village.
