In Genshin Impact, official descriptions have revealed that Hydro Sigils serve as a recognition from the waters of Fontaine. You can find them from the following sources:

• Statue of Seven Rewards.
• Fontaine Treasure Chests.
• Fontaine One-Time Domain Rewards.

Collect Hydroculus to increase the level of Fontaine's Statue of Seven to receive Hydro Sigils and more. Furthermore, you can get a decent amount of sigils from one-time domains across Fontaine. Lastly, exploration plays a significant role in collecting abundant Hydro Sigils from treasure chests in the new unknown region. Here is a quick overview:

• Normal Chest: Hydro Sigil x 1.
• Exquisite Chest: Hydro Sigil x 2.
• Precious Chest: Hydro Sigil x 3.
• Luxurious Chest: Hydro Sigil x 4.

According to all the chests shown in Genshin Impact's official interactive map, you can collect around 657 Hydro Sigils and 338 chests in the latest 4.0 update. This count includes sigils obtained from one-time playable domains such as Archon quests and Lyney's story quest too.

Since collecting all this by yourself can be tricky, you can try to obtain the Hydro Treasure Compass gadget through Fontaine's reputation commissions.

You can offer enough Hydro Sigils to level up the Fountain of Lucine. The mechanics are similar to previous offering systems, such as Tree of Dreams from Sumeru or Sacred Sakura from Inazuma Island. Leveling up Fontaine's new offering system will need 30 Hydro Sigils to unlock each level, which will exchange exciting in-game rewards and resources.

Unlike the previous offering systems in this title, Fountain of Lucine is not locked behind any pre-requisite quest. Simply ride the Navia line Aquabus to reach the Opera House. Once there, navigate yourself to the Fountain of Lucine using the in-game map.

Lastly, you can also spend the excess Hydro Sigils on Fontaine's souvenir shop to buy unique items. Note that the shop won't be unlocked until you max out the Fountain of Lucine in Genshin Impact.
