Water injections and Intercoolers have a similar effect (keeping your stuff from melting).
However, an Intercooler is much easier to handle, as it doesn't need to be metered to boost and rpm, like a water injection. Water injections are pretty easy to set up for "full boost and rpm", but get really tricky, when you have to adjust them when rpms are dropping at the end / boost (temperature) is going down. That often results in "no low end torque" and the engines basically stalling in the en. Up to app 3500 hp (+?) you can do without water injection, when using a sufficient Intercooler and have the benefit of not having to mess with exact metering and tractors keep the tires spinning at the end (often a better show to watch). 
In Pro Stock it's a bit ot a different story. They use intercoolers to get the temperature down enough, so they don't have to inject so much water, that they are getting quickly near the risk of a hydro lock.
