I believe you mean into the radiator tank. Hopefully you also mean antifreeze and not just water.
The engine has hollow passages around the hottest parts of the motor and the liquid absorbs the heat and flows through the radiator and cools down again.
The reason we use antifreeze now instead of just straight water is because the antifreeze raises the boiling point of the water so the engine can get hotter without overheating and it also has anti rusting chemicals to keep rust from the motor from plugging the radiator core.

Will a lot of water in the gas tank ruin an engine?
Yes, water is considered a fuel contaminant, and can definitely damage a car's engine. Depending on how much water is in the tank there are a couple of options. If there's not too much water you can pour in a fuel additive like "Heet" or "DryGas". These products contain an alcohol that mixes with the water and allows it to burn off safely. However if there's a lot of water you may have to have the tank removed and either cleaned or replaced.

A full cup of water or less can hurt any car's engine. While some very small amounts of water may find its way into fuel tanks naturally, any more water than this will cause a car serious problems.
