Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume in respect of the pure water. The pure water is considered to have zero water potential as there's absence of any solute in the pure water and hence no pressure is exerted at all. This leads to a zero water potential which will increase of you put solutes in the water
Hope this helps. Thank you.
