Through Jesus, he gives us Living Waters. Just like we need water to keep us alive, we need this spiritual living water, to live.

My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? Psalms 42:2 NASB https://bible.com/bible/100/psa.42.2.NASB

Comment from John Macarthur Study Bible:

† 4: 10 living water. The OT is the background for this term, which has important metaphorical significance. In Jer 2: 13 , Yahweh decries the disobedient Jews for rejecting Him, the “fountain of living waters.” The OT prophets looked forward to a time when “living waters will flow out of Jerusalem” ( Eze 47: 9 ; Zec 14: 8 ). The OT metaphor spoke of the knowledge of God and His grace which provides cleansing, spiritual life, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit (cf. Is 1: 16– 18 ; 12: 3 ; 44: 3 ; Eze 36: 25– 27 ). John applies these themes to Jesus Christ as the living water which is symbolic of eternal life mediated by the Holy Spirit
