"(the water existed in a canopy above the earth prior to that)"

No, the water existed in "the fountains of the great deep" and came up fast and hot through fissures that encircle the globe. Read the word before posting!

Genesis

Chapter 7:11

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.

The water came from above and below. Its certainly possible.
