De waterrietzanger is in ons land een schaarse tot zeldzame doortrekker met hooguit enkele exemplaren per jaar. Bijna alle waarnemingen hebben betrekking op jonge, eerstejaars vogels welke vanuit hun broedplekken, deels via de Noordwest-Europese kust, naar het zuiden trekken. Het is een liefhebber van natte weilanden met zegge en zeggemoerassen. Het is een voormalige onregelmatige broedvogel welke met name broedt in Polen en verder in Oost-Europa. De waterrietzanger lijkt heel erg op de in Nederland veel algemenere rietzanger, maar is zwaarder gestreept op de rug en kop. Trend is afnemend, mogelijk 3700 - 18.000 broedparen in 1994.

Hoofdzakelijk bewoner van zeggemoerassen en natte, vochtige weilanden met zeggen of riet.

The Aquatic Warbler has suffered a dramatic decline in the EU, mainly in central Europe. The current breeding population is unlikely to excess a hundred pairs. The causes of this decline are the frequent loss of nesting habitat, mainly due to land drainage associated with agricultural development and the cessation of traditional hand-scything, resulting in the expansion of dense reedbeds and scrubs wich are unsuitable for the species.

Doortrekker in uiterst klein aantal. De laatste jaren worden er regelmatig langs de verschillende ringvangplekken meerdere waterrietzangers gevangen. Dit wekt de suggesties dat er wellicht meer doortrek langs de Nederlandse kust plaatsvindt dan tot nu toe. Vogels uit Oost-Europa trekken via West-Europa naar de overwinteringsplekken.
