Water molecule has a structure like this:
H-O-H
Here, one oxygen atom forms a covalent bond with each of the hydrogen atoms.
However, oxygen being more electronegative, it has a tendency to pull the bond pair of electrons towards itself developing a partial negative charge on oxygen atom and a partial positive charge on each of the hydrogen atoms.
Thus, it can be said that water molecule is polar in nature.

It is polar because it is asymmetrical
Is tap water polar or non polar?
Water is polar molecule. Since oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
