Water is a collection of molecules composed of Hydrogen and Oxygen. A water molecule does not fit the description of a cell (and cells are the fundamental unit of life), hence water is not living. Much of what makes up a living cell is water, but water itself is inanimate.

If you build a pond in your bacckyard will tadpoles come to it?

That depends in part on your geography. If you are close to other bodies of water that are inhabited by frogs or toads, you are likely to find tadpoles in your pond. To have tadpoles in your pond, it must either be frequented by frogs or toads or have the eggs transported to the pond in some other way. The presence of tadpoles in a pond also depends on the pond itself. Shallow water on the margins of the pond with good vegetative cover provides favorable conditions for tadpoles. The water quality in the pond must also be conducive to aquatic life for tadpoles to survive.
