It looks blue in a number of Google images, lots of them.

Water is actually clear unless it is loaded with suspended silt and
clay or algae,

Water looks blue because it absorbs red and yellow light but
scatters and reflects blue light. Deeper water looks darker blue and
you don't actually see the bottom which could actually be dark brown
or black mud, light coloured sand or green with vegetation and so
on.
                    
There are many things that can change the colour of water. Suspended
mud and sediment in rivers can make them appear brown. Algae can
turn the water green or red.
