It's used to target a link on the same page for exemple :
...
</Body>
A mouse click on the second anchor wil raise the page until the first anchor will be first line of your page appearing.
Water is not bad as soon as it stays out human body ;-))
Code:
<Body>
<A name="top"></a>
...
..
.
<a href="#top">goto top</a></Body>

Basically, it does NOTHING. It's link that links to where it is already.
Usually, you use it when you need to have something that "looks like a link" (the cursor becomes a hand, it's underlined ...) but does not link to a page.
<a href="javascript:alert('somebody clicked on me !!')">
and
<a href=# onclick="alert('somebody clicked on me !!!')">
are equivalent on a browser that has javascript enabled
also, beware that if you use a base href the <a href=#> might actually link to the base href itself.
