Driving through a huge puddle which will result in huge water droplets to enter the cylinder. That's when you get hydrolock. That's why when you take off the plugs and turn the crank water will shoot out.
Water droplets that are not atomized via a nozzle of some sort is bad. However, meth/water injection kits come with nozzles which atomizes the water molecules. Water does a couple of things. When atomized it decreased the intake temperatures when it hits the cylinder it becomes 'steam' which acts as a buffer slowing down the combustion process. Im going to refer to Lomac's previous post:

This is a good read if you want to know more about water/meth injection.
Water = H2O. Two hydrogen atoms with one oxygen. When broken down with heat (from combustion) neither is hurtful to an engine.
