The water pump is driven by the cam belt. This engine is an interference engine and as such it is critical that the cam belt be replaced correctly or severe engine damage will occur. In order to replace the water pump the cam belt must be removed. Unless you know what you are doing I suggest you take your car to a professional to have the water pump replaced and replace the cam belt at the same time. The cam belt must be replaced every 90,000 miles. If it breaks, severe engine damage will occur.
