- "Здесь нет воды."

"Воды" (stress on the last syllable) is genitive of "вода". In Russian, any indication of the amount: стакан (a glass of), много (a lot of), мало (а little) and even нет (no) requires genitive. So, "a glass of water"="стакан воды", which should not be too surprising since English "of" is fairly reliable indicator of geitive in Russian.
