What color is the water clean or dirty? This will tell you if its coming from up top or down below. But I suspect that you have a clogged evap case drainwhich fills up the air conditioning box with water and it overflows. You need to make sure your drain is free. Look under the hood near the firewall on the passenger side about 12 inches down will be a drain. Alsoyou can pull up the carpet and see if you can see where its coming from. Does the water appear after a rain storm?

Do not worry about the drain. Looks like you have a leak along you windshield or door frame as water rolls down and somehow gets into the vehicle. Spray water with a hose and look for leaks or water marks inside the car. Follow the leak and repair as required. Good Luck.

It's more likely your heater core if it's on the passenger side... Check your coolant levels, they are probably low...

rlith is probably right check coolant levels to make sure your not low
if not you may have a water leak from the door seal or mafrom underneath pull up your carpet in the corner and look

if you think it may be the heater core, turn on the heat full blast on defrost and see if it fogs up your windows, and smell the air coming out if it smells sweet it's probly the heater core.
