The condensate drain at the bottom of the plenum is blocked. It can become blocked from different causes but the fix is the same in most cases. Stick a wire up the drain tube to clear it. You'll probably need to put your car on a lift to see where the drain is.
Some AC installations have a drain tube or tubes that connect to the drain at the bottom of the condenser and carry the condensate water through the floor pan. You will find this on older vehicles with condenser units slung under the dash. The tubes can become kinked or fall off the unit.
One way to troubleshoot this problem is (hey, the floor is already wet) to pour water through a dash vent and see where it runs out. If the water leaks out a joint, you probably have a clogged drain. If it leaks through a crack in the plenum you'll need to dry everything out and patch the crack with JBWeld or a similar product.
After you locate the leak, take out the carpets and padding and dry it all so your floor pans don't start rusting.

Why does water leak on the passenger side of cab on 2002 dodge Dakota?
If the water is leaking out underneath the cab onto the ground, this is normal if the air conditioner has been, or is being, used. It's just condensation that builds up in the system draining out. If the water is leaking inside the cab onto the passenger floor, it could be a few things. Compare patterns of air conditioner use to weather and water exposures from washing or sprinklers to indicate the source of the leak. It is likely that it is, again, condensation from the air conditioner, however, this is not normal and can create problems such as mold growth, foul smells, and rusting. What's happened is that the drain for that condensation to the outside has become plugged, so the water builds up and leaks inside. This problem should be addressed, unfortunately, I'm not aware of any reliable DIY remedies beyond dismantling the heater coil/evaporator coil housing and clearing the blockage. (A fairly big, time consuming job, which may best be left to professionals such as a radiator shop or your mechanic.) Alternatively, clear water could also be coming in from a leaking door or windshield seal. Also alternatively, if the liquid is engine coolant, it indicates a leaking heater coil, and needs to be repaired immediately.
Why does your 99 Chevy silverado ext cab leak water on the passenger side?
maybe the heater core.
Why does your Ford F150 air conditioner blow hot air while driving but air is cold while idling?
Do you have the recycle air button turned off? If you do you would be sucking in hot air when you are moving but when you stop the outside air stops flowing into the air conditioner and it gets a chance to get cooler air from inside the cab and cool it more. Make sure your recycle button is lit on the dash. This closes off the outside air and just recycles the cooler air from inside the cab.
What is the definition of filtering in a air conditioner?
what you're thinking of is the cabin air filter, which filters the recirculating air in the cab of a vehicle. this is different from the engine air filter, which filters the air flowing into the intake manifold for the motor.

I have water coming in under the dash on the passanger side of my 1999 Chrysler town and country. Could this be my air conditioner hose leaking?
Probably not. In most vehicles the only 'water' inside the cab is from the heater core. It's mostly likely that your heater core has a leak. The heater core is near the gas pedal on these vans. If the leak is on the right side it could be ac condensation water running back in from either a plugged drain, or it could run back through the firewall from an improperly sealed drain tube. The drain tube is behind the alternator and about half way down. It is hard to see and access.
Why would you have an exhaust smell in your car before you start the engine then once the car is driven the smell is nonexistent?
Any exhaust smell in a car cab indicates an exhaust leak somewhere along the line. Th reason you don't smell it while driving is because the air flowing air under the car is blowing the exhaust gasses away before it can rise into the cab. After the car sits for a while, the gasses seep out of the leak, and up into the cab.
How do you fix the air conditioner in a 1992 Ford Mark 3 when the front blows cold air but the back does not?
It can be a vacuum problem. Check to see if there is vacuum going into the cab. Check for a pinched hose or one that is soft and collapsed.
