Why would an air conditioner leak water?

The evaporator coil is very cold, which causes water to condense on it's surface, like how water condenses on a cold soda can. The water runs to a drain pan at the bottom of the coil and then flows outside your home via a drain pipe. If water is leaking around your furnace, you very likely have a clogged drain pipe or cracked drain pan and should have it fixed immediately. However, if you have a heat pump and you see water around the outdoor unit during the winter, this is normal.

Where should drain valves be fitted in a cold water supply system?

The key word is "drain", meaning it works by gravity, so a drain value should be at the lowest point in the system. Typically there is one just past the meter. If a lawn irrigation system is a branch of the main system it should have its' own drain valve for winterizing it. You can purchase stop valves (or shutoff valves) with built-in drain or bleeder valves.
