Water and electronics generally do not make happy bedfellows. Your iPad is not designed to be water resistant. While it will survive being splashed with water if immediately dried, it will almost certainly suffer irreparable damage if it is allowed to get wet, or is submerged for any length of time.

If the worst should happen, speed is essential. If the iPad gets wet, it should be immediately dried with an absorbent towel - then set aside in a warm, dry location to throughly dry. If the iPad should be turned-off - and no attempt made to turn-on, use, or charge the iPad until you are absolutely certain that the iPad has fully dried out. Pay particular attention to the charging port.

You would be best advised to take your iPad along to the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to assess your iPad. If repair isn’t possible, the iPad can be responsibly recycled - and you’ll be in the best possible place to explore possible replacement:

As stated in the Support Article that was viewed on the top of the page, leave your iPad in a dry area with airflow and it could take up to 24 hours to dry out. If that does not work, than your only solution is to Contact Apple Support using the link on the bottom of that page.

I don't know about an iPad (which is what you list in your text and profile) but here's what Apple advises with an IPhone --> If you see a liquid-detection alert on your iPhone - Apple Support
