AFAIK there is no common texture for water in Tremulous, but there are some custom maps that have custom made water.  Water is done using a shader effect.  If you dig around in a custom map's PK3 you should find it and you will probably be allowed to use it in your own maps (may need to ask first, but I think most if not all are "free").  You can make your own water shader using the surfaceparam water keyword.  You can also deform the surface to make the water ripple.  Haven't done this myself yet, but here is the Q3 shader manual which should be all you need.

Just google for quake 3 shader or quake 3 shader tutorial and you should be able to find additional resources.  You should also be able to find free premade shaders on the web as well.
