It's been discussed loads of times before.Its known as the sink or fish tank in the rear.Check your door seal for rips and use a rubber glue (I would use my wetsuit glue).The glass might also need to be adjusted upward.
Then spay a can of silicone spray on the rubber and use a sponge to remove most of the water ant leave the flap open with the rear facing the sun.Some people here have drilled a hole in the floor.
I keep some tools in there and sometimes spay with wd40 and leave it open on a warm day.It hasn't welled up for a year or 2.

edit:Welcome to Landyzone.

I had a free swimming pool with mine anorl, back door seals are fine, i found
the lid used to condensate easly.
I dryed it out, left it open on a nice day, it done the trick been dry ever since!

I cured mine by taking the rubber seal completely off the rear door, then refitting it. cos it don't go back 100% the same, it seems to re-seal it. not had a recurrence since, fingers crossed.

Ive just bought an 04 model and to my surprise it to had water in the tool well. After a quick investigation i found the tailgate catch (the one fixed to the D post) was loose and this was allowing water to run down the inside of the tailgate, under the rear panel trim and into the tool well. I adjusted it in slightly and tightened it up and we are now water tight again:clap2:
