I guess you could water so much that the seed is floating, or that you

Ride in the country and look at the agricultural fields. If there is
a field with a low & continually wet spot, the field will have a good
crop everywhere except at the wet spot, which will be very sparsely
cropped. Too much water encourages disease & root rot. Plus roots need
air to grow properly and they can't get it if it's waterlogged.
Better to water once or twice a week and mostly, but not completely,
dry inbetween the waterings.
IMHO.

Not necessarily.

The low spots have the only green vegetation for miles. The rest
is just a dust bowl.
