Your Answer
Water potential is the measure of potential i.e. energy of water molecules . Addition of solute always decreses this energy. Thus pure water which has zero solute has maximum potential energyi.e. water potential. Thus we give zero to pure water and less than zero i.e. negative to water having solute
