Water-damaged iPad won't charge

Water and electronics do not make happy bedfellows. Your iPad is not designed to be water resistant. While it may survive being splashed with water if immediately dried, it will almost certainly suffer irreparable damage if submerged.

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:

If you have benefit of an active AppleCare+ plan, your iPad will have cover for accidental damage - and can be replaced for a small excess/deductible fee.

Yup. Water and electronics don't mix. You can have hit inspected by Apple but there is a high probability that you'll need a new device.
