Again why is the word agua not feminine according to the rules described in 1.3 Food and Articles under the Watch tab. Agua fits the feminine and singular rules so it should be la agua?

Aqua is a feminine noun. However saying "la aqua" will cause the two a's to run together. So it is el aqua. You still use the feminine version of adj.

agua is irregular and is masculine because el agua seperates the two sounds better than la agua
