The bricks are made in kiln by fire, how to control the temperature to avoid too high temperature over burning the bricks and the kiln? Ancient Chinese used water on the top of the kiln where a circle ditch was full of water all the time in the brick making process. The character shows that people pour the water on kiln.

It is not so critical for burning bricks, normally just keep the ditch with water since some time point.
