Running in water helps with sprinting because when you sprint, there is no resistance when you pull up your knees. Pretending to sprint in the water gives pulling up your knees a work-out, resulting in faster running.
Also, there is less shock, so many runners who have injuries do this to keep in shape.

what do you mean by better?
there is more resistance in water, so I say thats better, since you get a whole body workout, in a way.
.. not really better, just different.
Swimming and 'walking' in water, really works out your shoulders.

No, I think you weigh less in water. But if the pool is empty it should be the same. What is the point?

It depends on your goals. You reduce the shock to your feet. As you are fighting water resistance, not gravity, you do more relative work to to muscles which would normaly only move passively with gravity.

yes the water gives you resistance so it is physically harder to run in place in water therefore your body exerts more energy

Its less impact on knees. If probably is better more resistance less strain on legs and knees.

Yup. More resistance, and less shock to the body.

Yes, water adds significant resistance.
