Please don't kill water snakes. They are part of the environment and do their part of keeping things in balance.
In Florida (USA)
We have Brown Water Snakes, Banded Water Snakes, Green Water Snakes, Mangrove Water Snakes and many others. Water Moccasins are very rare.
I have a Brown Water Snake as a pet and it is friendly and likes to climb my arms. They are not the monsters people think they are. Of course if you grab a wild one your are in for a fight, so don't.
