Bulk modulus = change in Pressure / change in density per unit original density.

Because bulk modulus of elasticity is inversely proportional to compressibility.

The compressibility of incompressible fluid is 0 than the bulk modulus of elasticity is infinite for incompressible fluid.

Bulk modulus of elasticity is the inverse of compressibility.

And compressibility of water is zero. So,

1/0 = infinity is bulk modulus of elasticity.
