Harrier water injection

Halfway through the superb book on the Pegasus.
Can any bona jet drivers (or others who may know) clarify something about water injection.
I read on wiki that it cooled the outlets, allowing running at higher power and outlet temperatures for 90 secs max.
I assume it was sprayed on the inside of the outlet in some sort of mist and that the rear hot exhausts simply dumped super-heated steam overboard as part of the jet efflux?
