Water is a chemical molecule of 2 hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom at a slight bent. There is the same amount of water now as there was when the earth was created. Water is just it different parts of its cycle when it rains, flows underground, is soaked up by a plant, drank by an animal (cutting a grape vine is a great way to get clean water in the forest) or evaporating from skin or lake surfaces.
Water was created inside a burning star, and the death of it which was required to compress Hydrogen atoms to make oxygen- but that gets into the story of the creation of the solar system.

water can be produced from a number of chemical reactions that involve hydrogen and oxygen and end up producing h2o. that's the short version; to understand the long version, you'd need to take a rudimentary class in chemistry.
once water is produced however, it can exist in solid (ice), liquid (water), and gaseous (steam) states. when water is heated or cooled enough, it will turn into steam or ice, and it will seem as though it has disappeared; however it has simply taken a different form. likewise, water may seem to just appear when ice melts or steam condenses, but the same rules apply.
water can also be absorbed by solid substances and mixed with other liquid substances. it may then seem like the water has disappeared, but it still exists as a component of the mixture. likewise, when water is distilled from a mixture which it is a component of, it has not been produced, it was there all along.
in conclusion, the only way to actually produce water is from a chemical reaction.

water doesn't grow. It comes from the ocean, the lakes and rivers, the sky. The thing is, it just recycles it'self, basically. The rain falls from the sky, and soaks into the soil, it travels underground or runs of hills until it reaches a water source like a river or the sea. From there, the heat evaporates it, and it travels into the air and forms into clouds, the moisture piles up and eventually becomes too heavy to be suspended in the air, and falls again as rain, and it starts all over again. That's what I remember from science class anyway. ;)

Water doesn't grow. The amount of it covering the face of our planet is growing because the polar ice caps are melting due to us messing up the ozone. It comes from the polar ice caps melting due to global warming and from the weather taking it back up into our atmosphere, hence,. Condensation nuclei. When it is warm, the water evaporates up into the air, turning into rain clouds and then gets lightening and thundered and showered back on the earth. We cannot make water grow or die, we can only pollute it, making it unuseful for human consumption. It gets absorbed into the water table (part of the ground layer) we live upon , and if we are lucky, we don't do stupid things like dump our waste like oil and crap onto the ground, which eventually is captured by wells and springs and all.

you want to know where water came from? the earths atmosphere had a much higher amount of hydrogen and oxygen billions of years ago. after the earth cooled enough lightning started striking, when lightning strikes water is "grown/created" the process to make water only requires a spark, and since lightning has been striking for a long long long time, water has been "grown/created" a few drops at a time for a very long time. Scientists also believe that most of the gasses that make up our atmosphere came from the molten lava that once covered the earth, proably just bubbles of all sorts of stuff spewing out and then cooling, some of this could have been water vapor which would have eventually cooled enough to turn into water...
the answer lightning. my answer is the only correct one, I saw this on a documentary once, and asked my science teacher to research it for me.

Water forms in an endothermic reaction between 2 hydrogen ions and one oxygens, the heat causes the bonds to form. Water is one of the only known liquids that actaully expands (meaning it has a greater volume) when frozen or in a solid state.

During the primordial formation of planets and stars, there are rhythmic expulsions of gasses and particles that occur due to recurring nuclear reactions in the core as it equilibrates. When this expelled matter collides and ripples shockwaves through the outer gasseous layers, water is formed as a natural byproduct (hydrogen and oxygen are common astrophysical gasses).
In the formation of a planet, the water will be present on the surface upon solidification due to its lower density in comparison to harder minerals. On hot planets, it's in the form of vapor in the atmosphere. On cold planets, it may be ice crystals. And on lucky little Earth, it was in liquid form.

Water we drink for the most part comes from under ground. Ground Water.

answer to 1 question Heat makes water expand.
answer to 2 question Water gets evaporated from the earth and goes in a gas to the sky. Clouds then form from the gas and then it rains and comes back down to earth.
