Key words: supercritical state, structure of water, pair correlation functions

A new approach to the problem of the structure of liquid and supercritical water has been suggested that is based on the idea of preferential variations of the nearest ordering. The transition of water into the supercritical state is described in the terms of this conception. Analysis of some experimental data allowed us to show that the infinite cluster of H-bonded water molecules ceased to exist in the vicinity of critical isotherm. The phenomena associated with the surmounting of the percolation threshold may be important for the development of new supercritical technologies.
