depends on the strength of the base actually. water is amphoteric which means it can act like an acid or a base. if a weak base is put in water the water can neutralize it, but water is quickly overrun yielding the below equation.
B + H2O yields HO- +BH
this makes the water basic.

When a base is dissolved in water it becomes a basic solution. The more base you add/dissolve in the water, the higher the concentration, and the higher the pH of the solution. You will be making the solution more and more basic.

Then it becomes a watered down base :)
Like baking soda dissolved in water, to treat heartburn.

The water molecule would be polarised and there will be an increase of OH- anions in the solution. The pH of the solution will rise and you get an alkaline solutio.

The base dissociates into 2 ions. a OH- ion dissociates in all of bases!!

the water becomes basic

don't expect it to evaporate the water and escape then, it will just stay in the water...
