Thanks rigga,
Yep, i realise that a turboprop is a torque producing gas turbine and that water injection can be used in the same way is it is/was on a jet.
It does seem though that, Harrier aside (which I used to teach as a propulstion instructor on the Harrier Maintenance School; GR3 and T4 vintage
) water injection now only appears on some older turboprops although it
may have a use as an omissions reducing method.
