Why is the colour of water blue?
Water is blue because it weakly absorbs the red end of the light spectrum well, just like other blue items. The degree it absorbs the red is very difficult to perceive with small amounts of water, which is why a glass of water is colorless.It is a common misconception that water is transparent or colorless (which is ironically perpetuated by claiming that the opposite is a misconception), but water's color can and has been shown experimentally. The reflection of the sky, a common explanation, would only alter the water color if it was very still, which it often is not. Water is still blue on cloudy days.

On a map what color is for water?
When you look into an ocean or a lake, the water looks like it's blue. But, up close, water isn't really blue. It's only blue when you look at it in big groups, (like an ocean or a lake, a pond etc.), because the sky is blue, so the color of the sky makes a blue reflection on the water, making it look blue. So, on a map, if you drew water as clear, nobody would be able to tell there was anything there at all! So, water on a map is drawn blue instead.
