I've recently heard that the water's color is because of the sky. You see, water is very clear and transparent. The sky's color reflects towards it so that's why water seems blue.

Why are the rivers blue in the summer and green in the winter?

The colour of and body of water is more dependent on what it is reflecting than what is in it. Fast moving or rough water reflects differently than smooth surfaced water. In summer the water reflects blue sky and is set in a green background, making it seem more "blue." In winter the sky is paler and the surrounding areas are white with snow. This allows your eye to see the water as a more green blue. Seasons are not always the mitigating factor, some times it is the depth of the water, others the latitude that effect the perception of colour. For example: The water of the Caribbean appears to be more green-blue than the waters of the north Atlantic.
