The scientific name for rabies, "Hydrophobia" is as such because two of the symptoms of the disease are both an inflamed throat that rejects liquid nourishment, and a monstrous thirst for pure water. Because of this, sufferers act uncomfortable and frightened when around drinking water. You probably couldn't scare away a rabid animal with water - on the contrary, you'd only be attracting it.
