UPC states that a water heater must sit at least 18" off of the floor to the lowest combustion point, if your water heater is a new high efficiency type it may have a sealed combustion chamber. If your water heater has a sealed combustion chamber it can set on a garage floor. Since your question does not state that it is in a garage, if it is in a living space, it has no minimum ground clearance, I would however put a pan underneath it if it isnt in a garage.
