Seu is for masculine words and sua for feminine ones.
Água is feminine, so use sua.
- Seu(s) = your, his, its.
- Sua(s) = your, her, its.
So,sometimes we may confuse if the possessive is related to the 2nd person or 3rd person. Then, in 3rd person you can use dele (his/its) and dela (her/its) after the noun.
- Sua família é legal = your/his/her family is nice.
- A família dela é legal = her family is nice.
Now, it's easier to understand the owner. ;)
