On this site, it says that it is feminine, but everywhere else I have searched says that it is masculine.

It is feminine with a masculine article. Feminine words like agua, aula, alma have a male article in their singular forms to avoid two stressed "a" sounds following one another. Note that all of these take female adjectives, for example "agua fría". Also in their plural forms the article is female: las aguas, las aulas, etc.

No, Momoyoyo. See the reply of Pescador above. The word is feminine, but we say "el" to avoid confusion of la sound running into aula. Ada-S spoke well too. All the best. - 0000000, Dec 19, 2011
