When I was searching to make unity 2d water fluid system and unity 2d water effect I got lots of threads on forums, blogs and everywhere. I found some good techniques and plugin that I want to share today.

Today I am not giving you right answer but telling some methods and plugins you can use and tutorials you can follow to get unity 2d Water fluid system in you 2d or even 3d projects.

There are many other ways like Metaballs but metaballs are for 3d one solution is also available to make it 2d, and a game by PixelJunk called Shooter they use some trick and also described at GDC2010 Presentation (PDF)

Fluvio Plugin Test
First I love to show this plugin called fluvio. I get it from asset-store what fluvio said about their plugin.

"Fluvio is a solution for real-time 2D/3D fluid physics. It is fully integrated with the editor and compatible with desktop, web player and mobile platforms. Fluvio can simulate both liquids and gasses, with a custom plugin system to extend its functionality. Out of the box, Fluvio includes multiple particle emitters and plugins, custom refractive shaders, and more. Fluvio Professional includes full source code."
