Apparently I did not express myself very well. By driven by crank, I mean timing belt. If water pump is driven by t-belt and t-belt breaks, suppose engine is non-interference, everything stops. No danger of overheat.

If it is driven by accessory belt, there seems to be this weird possibility that an engine can work itself to death. I think this is what I was trying to ask. Just some clarification.
