how do i remove water sources from my sever? I have the buckets as a prvs now. but there gierfing my server with water sources and been trying to find out how to remove it.

Depends. Often I replace the water with air using World Edit.
If there's no builds close by I use Minetest's "/deleteblocks here" command.

If it's just little I place torches and that gets rid of the sources, and the torches remove easily.

thanks for the reply what i meant to say was how do i remove it from the craft quide. i have some players who are gierfing my server and there making it from ice. a few i think are running a hacked cleint and have creative... when i check my logs it shows the actuvated water sorce instad of crafting water sources..... one guy had 99 lava sorces in his invertory and he is not creative but i got lava where u can only dump it below sea level

You could intercept placement of all water sources via minetest.override_item( "default:water_source", ... ) and redefine the on_place callback method. Problem solved :)
