what's the full context

[raven cave]

put it in the water vs put it in water

[shy tide]

So both are correct?

[raven cave]

both are possible, they just mean different things

[shy tide]

Well, I’ve never seen “dans de l’eau”. It has always been “dans l’eau”, as in:
“Je le mets dans l’eau” (I put it in water)
Even when the English one doesn’t have “the”, it is still l’eau.

[raven cave]

not sure what you mean, do you have more context?

where did you see this sentence? is it from duolingo?

[civic night]

it's definitely possible

"il faut mettre les pâtes dans de l'eau bouillante"
