Why is it feminine?
Agua is feminine because it descends from Latin "aqua," which was grammatically feminine, and Spanish retained this gender assignment when the word evolved phonetically. The feminine gender persisted despite "agua" beginning with a stressed "a" sound, which normally triggers the masculine article "el" in the singular (hence "el agua") as a phonetic exception to avoid the awkward repetition of the vowel sound.
