Notes on the Water is the approximate Federation Standard translation for the name of a café located in the town of Lingasha on Alonis. During the 2290s, the café was well-known for the musical acts that played there in the evenings.

In 2293, Ambassadors Spock and Alexandra Tremontaine visited the café following their tour of one of the planet's museums. (TOS novel: Crucible: The Fire and the Rose).
