A water bridge refers to an experimental "flexible cable" made up of pure deionized water which can hang across two supports maintained with a sufficiently large voltage difference. The resulting electric fields within the deionized water flexible cable, maintain a tension which sustains the water against the downward force of gravity. A detailed calculation of the water bridge tension will be provided in terms of the Maxwell pressure tensor in a dielectric fluid medium. General properties of the dielectric liquid pressure tensor are discussed along with unusual features of dielectric fluid Bernoulli flows in an electric field. Analogies between dielectric fluid Bernoulli flows in strong electric fields and quantum Bernoulli flows in superfluids are explored.
