In general open expanses of water reflect whatever colour is predominant in the environment. This usually tends to be the sky colour. If the sky is clear, water in the sea or lakes will appear blue. If the sky is dull, so also will be the water surface. The tap water in the glass will still usually be clear.

How do solar pool covers work?
The pic associated with this answer has nothing to do with a Solar Cover or Solar Blanket. It looks as if these are solar panels for electricity. Solar blankets look like a stronger version of bubble wrap. Their primary purpose when they are laid on the water (bubble side down) is to keep whatever warmth the pool water has in it from escaping into the cooler air at night. They are usually a light blue or clear in color. Clear allows more sunlight into the pool to heat the water better.

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.

The ocean is blue because water is a blue substance.Many people are sure that bodies of water are blue because the water reflects the sky. But wouldn't this only make the shiny surface-reflections look blue? And doesn't water sometimes remain blue on cloudy days? Exactly. There's no mystery here; water looks blue because water *is* blue. Pure water is a blue chemical. It's not just the sky that creates the colors we see.

Why are lakes that have been affected by acid rain often clear and blue?
A clear blue lake is often appealing to humans; it seems like a good place for a swim, like a swimming pool. Biologically, however, there is probably nothing living in it. When plants are living in the water, it usually gains a greenish tinge. The presence of plants and animals tends to cloud the water due to their activities and body processes. So, no organics, nothing to "cover up" the clear blue. Most acidic bodies of water do not look polluted. As decaying organic matter settles, acidified water can appear clear and blue.
When a kettle is boiling it produces visible steam. What does this steam contain?
Actually, the steam part is not actually steam, but water vapour. If you look closely at a boiling kettle, there is a clear space between the spout and the actual (steam). That clear space is the steam, which is invisible. What appears afterwards is water vapour.
