Yes, agua is a femenine noun, but it takes the masculine singular articles (both definite and indefinite). So does any femenine noun whose first syllable is stressed and begins with the letter 'a' or with 'ha' (except hache). This is done purely because it sounds better, as Poli stated. In their plural form, the femenine plural articles are used for these words.
