Well, as long as you have both oxygen and hydrogen you can have water.
The traditional theory for where the water came from is the asteroid/comet theory, suggesting that it was brought to earth as some of those bodies crashed into our planet during the formation of the solar system.
Recently, some research by University of Hawaii scientists on Baffin Island here in Canada suggested that there was water contained in the deeper parts of the earth's mantle, and they have said that this suggests that the water we have on earth is mostly native to earth, simply the result of oxygen and hydrogen atoms joining together.
Although really this is just another form of the question of where the universe came from. Stuff exists. How did it get here?
