Hi Cathy,
More context is almost always helpful. If was used like this: That argument just doesn't hold water it means that the argument doesn't hold up - it doesn't have integrity - it has holes in it. In other words I don't find that argument plausible.
There are other uses for "hold water" so I'm taking a guess here.
