Earth was once larger and an object the size of Mars smacked into it and stripped Earth of its outer layer, that layer then combined due to gravity and we now know that to be the moon.
Then where did all the water come from?
water, as abundant as it seems, covers 75% of the Earth's surface, but it is little compared to the total mass of the Earth. the water, of course came from somewhere towards the center of earth. i sense doubt in my logic. a simple google search of "how the moon formed" might ease your doubts
