From Latin aqua.

• IPA: [ˈaɣwa]

[edit] Noun

agua f. (plural aguas)

1. water

   el agua clara

   las aguas calientes

[edit] Usage notes

The feminine noun agua is like other feminine nouns starting with a stressed a sound in that it takes the definite article el (normally reserved for masculine nouns) in the singular when there is no intervening adjective:

el agua

However, if an adjective intervenes between the article and the noun, the article reverts to la.
