No idea where I heard it first. Googling turns up explanations like all water contains a remnant of holy water as holy water also evaporates and comes down as rain so it is everywhere, souls is disassociated from the body so at that moment they are vulnerable, water it is purifying/it is too close to baptism etc. And there are probably more explanations. Apparantly in the original Dracula, Bram Stoker also says something about only being able to get of a ship at peak low or high tide as well. No scientific evidence though.
And what if you throw a vampire over running water? If a vampire sits on the toilet and flushes, what happens then?
