easiest way to tell if water pump is working is to run engine until at running temp. then carefully remove radiator cap. with someone slightly reving engine, look into radiator. if the pump and thermostat are working correctly, you will see the coolant moving(circulating) in the radiator

Wait until the thermostat opens , so the top radiator hose is hot , then squeeze the radiator hose and then stop squeezing - if the water pump is working you will feel a surge of coolant through the hose if the impeller inside the water pump is fine ( I'm assuming that there is no squealing sound or coolant leaking from the weep hole of the water pump )
