Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Butter well 3 1-pound coffee cans or loaf pans .
Sift the dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients, and add the eggs, oil, pumpkin and water.
Beat thoroughly using an electric mixer.
Stir in the walnuts.
Pour the batter into the containers, filling each only half to two-thirds full.
Bake for 60-90 minutes, depending on the sizes of your containers. The bread is done when a toothpick in the middle comes out clean.
Cool about ten minutes, then loosen the edges of the bread with a knife, and turn out  the pans on a rack for cooling.
