In regards to syntax, "the girl is drinking /the/ water" should also be correct. The form of the word 'water' presented here has the accompanying definite article.

No, vatten here is indefinite. It's an ett word. The girl is drinking/drinks the water would be Flickan dricker vattnet.
Singular:
ett vatten, vattnet
Plural:
vatten, vattnen

Because vatten means water. 'The girl drinks wine.' would be 'Flickan dricker vin.'
