Polar covalent bonds (because hydrogen and oxygen form polar bonds and are both nonmetals so it's covalent) and hydrogen bonds (because the water molecules are attracted to each other with partial charges, causing specific properties like surface tension).
So in my very bad drawing that I attached in case you're more a visual learner, the d- and d+ show the partial charges of hydrogen and oxygen (making it polar, as the electrons in the bond are more shifted towards oxygen, which is why oxygen has a negative sign) and the yellow dotted line show the hydrogen bonds.
