The bonds found between water molecules are called:

Hydrogen bonds

which contribute to water having a high number of Van Der Waals forces.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is an electromagnetic attraction within polar molecules in which hydrogen is joined to a larger atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen. This is not a dividing of electrons, as in a covalent bond. Preferably, this is an attraction among the positive and negative poles of charged atoms.
