Is agua a male or female noun? It ends in a so I am assuming female.

You assume right, agua is feminine. BUT you say

el agua, las aguas

Nouns beginning with an accented 'a' sound use el instead of la in the singular:

el hache, las haches

el águila, las águilas

el agua, las aguas

And don't forget to use the feminine adjectives: El agua roja. El agua fría. :) - Tosh, Dec 22, 2011

It is female, but do a search for "agua" here:

It is actually feminine, although they use the article "el".
