It's not just water that is effectively incompressible. Any close-packed or near-close-packed solid is effectively incompressible. It's because the atoms are already in a near ideal configuration, and compressing further means fighting the exclusion principle. Which is possible, but that sort of stuff happens in supernovae and neutron star formation.
