The components

Its a simple water sensor and a particle photon.

Code

is there water?

C/C++
The code simply checks for an analog value that is output by the sensor. My IFTTT program monitors this every minute. If the analog output is above a certain threshold it will alert the owner. I also found a link that the allows for live monitoring of the sensor.
int H2O_sensor = 0;

void setup() {
  // variable name max length is 12 characters long
  Particle.variable("H2O_sensor", &H2O_sensor, INT);
  pinMode(A5, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Read the analog value of the water sensor
  H2O_sensor = analogRead(A5);
  delay(1000);
}
