Many says that water is colourless, but I found in one website it says that water is faint blue in color. Some says that the color of the water is due to the refraction of light. So Iam totally confused. Give me the right answer.

According to a web based science exhibit I read it appears that indeed water could be decribed as having a particular colour. A 3 metre long tube of water can have a slight blue tinge because of the molecular properties of H-O-H bonds ( hydrogen bonds) which can absorb certain frequencies of light, for example some red is absorded making it appear slightly blue.

water is colourless because it doesnt change the wave lenght of light passing thru it or reflected by it

yes it is. the blue colors you see in oceans and lakes is refraction of light from the sky.
