It is rare for a water pump to stop pumping, even if they are leaking, they are still pumping as long as the belt is there and tight. I would change the thermostst first. There are a few water pumps out there that have a plastic impeller and I have seen them break apart but that is rare.
How do you tell if your water pump is going out in your 1996 Honda Accord?
If the pump is leaking or making any noise it needs replacing. It is common practice to replace the water pump when the cam belt is replaced every 90,000 miles. Reason being is that the water pump is driven by the cam belt and the pump will normally not last 180,000 miles until the next belt replacement. This saves you labor costs.

1 A seal protects the water pump impeller shaft bearing from contamination by engine coolant. If this seal fails, a weep hole in the water pump will leak coolant. If the weep hole is leaking, shaft bearing will follow. Replace the water pump immediately. 2 The water pump impeller shaft bearing can prematurely wear because its mechanically driven. When the bearing is worn it will squeal and it needs replaced don't confuse it with belt sequel though.

Pumps can be easily installed in outdoor water fountains. Fountains use a Powerhead pump which is available at Home Depot as well as many aquarium stores. On the pump packaging it will tell you how high the water pressure is on the pump or how high it will pump water.
