water is loaded with chlorine, minerals such as copper, calcium, lime, and other contaminates that the human body can handle fine under low substances in the less than .010 range. Under presser and heat though inside of the engine that these minerals become more reactive, and since they are caught in a cycle, then will only stay there braking down the engine block and sub-components.

Water is not used in most modern cars, or at least is not recommended. If it is used, it is because it is cheap and easy to find and will do the job .
In a car the water pump circulates coolant through the engine and to the radiator.
Clean water should be used and mixed with the proper coolant for your car.
Water is used as coolant in car radiators because it has high specific heat capacity of 4200 Joules. It has the highest specific heat capacity than any other substance. That is why it is used as coolant in car radiators
If you mean engine coolant is getting into the car, the heater core is leaking coolant causing the coolant level to drop and that causes the engine to over heat.
If by water you mean engine coolant, yes. Loss of coolant, antifreeze, is a major cause of overheating.

It's probably coolant, not water, could be from a cracked radiator.
Always use antifreeze. Water does not have any water pump lubricants or anti corrosion properties, antifreeze coolant does.
you are low on coolant.
If you can't see where its coming from, it may be a cracked head, or a bas headgasket. Also, when you add water to the coolant tank, it doesn't immediately go into the radiator. After the car sits a while, the radiator starts to cool, creating a vacuum. Water/coolant is then pulled into the radiator from the coolant tank.
