It depends on your definition of creating new water.
When we extract crude oil from ground, hydrogen is made as byproduct. Similar with other industrial processes. That hydrogen released in atmosphere burns with oxygen to make water.
So one could say that is new water.
The sun is a big hydrogen ball, and some of the big sun flares may bring new hydrogen atoms to Earth. Which then end up oxidized into water, hence new water.
