Why it is el agua and not la agua is a frequently asked question here. In fact I just answered basically the same question about 20 minutes ago. When a feminine noun begins with a stressed 'a' sound, the definite article la becomes el. For more information check out the links below.
Welcome to the forum! Jsanthara answered your question perfectly. You might also look at the spanish grammar main page, it's your one stop shopping mall for many questions. The link that Jsanthara mentions is there. I found this page only recently and it answers so many questions, maybe we could put it in Span¡shD!c's header.
