velocity with respect to still water means that we(observer) are flowing with the water flow , its not necessary that velocity of water should be zero.

like for example if u are in a car moving at 5 km/hr and a man is moving opposite to car with velo 2km/hr then velocity of man as seen from  still car  is 7km/hr ......when we subtract  the velocity vectors to get relative velocity than the object whose velocity is the second term is considered to be at rest.

for ex. Vman/car = Vman-Vcar here car is assumed to be at rest and man to be moving with velocity Vman/car
