Answer 1

go to phobiaguide.com if you wanna search some more. All I could find was....

"Hydrophobia Fear of water or of rabies."
"Potamophobia Fear of rivers or running water."
"Hygrophobia Fear of liquids, dampness, or moisture. "

Im' guessing its more of the second one..

Otherwise I found a site that claims all of the names listed are from refrence books,http://phobialist.com/index.html

Bathophobia- Fear of depth.

Answer 2

Hydrophobia may refer to one of the following.

•Hydrophobia, a set of symptoms of the later stages of a rabies infection, in which the victim has difficulty swallowing, shows panic when presented with liquids to drink, and cannot quench his or her thirst. "Hydrophobia" is also an old name for rabies itself.

•Hydrophobia, a phobia towards water, i.e., a morbid fear of water, or of swimming. It usually occurs in mild cases involving fear of deep water, and not as a general fear of the substance water. See also Aquaphobia.

•Hydrophobia, is a term used in chemistry to describe chemical aversions on a molecule. For instance, a detergent is considered to have hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head.
