Can you save your hard drive if you have water damage?

Is it worth trying to save anything in my Mac book pro that has extensive water damage?

MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.2)

Possible water damage. Can I get the info off of the hard drive? I spilled some water on my MacBook Air :'-( Stupid, I know. The tech department for my school district attempted to repair it but it came back as "MLB dead". I had a ton of files on this computer because I used it when I got my master's degree. Some things were saved to the cloud, but I don't think everything is there. My question is this: can I get the files off of the hard drive in order to put them on another MacBook Air?

Depends on what has been damaged. If it’s a SATA drive then yes it can be saved If the liquid damage is elsewhere.
