Water (H2O) has been known since ancient times, so it wasn't "discovered" in the traditional sense. However, the chemical composition of water was first identified in 1783 by the French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, who demonstrated that it is a compound made of hydrogen and oxygen. Lavoisier's work laid the foundation for modern chemistry, although the understanding of water as a compound developed over time through contributions from various scientists.
