Nuclear Power Engineering
Water is a better coolant than a gas (like CO₂, He, N₂ etc.), because it

Has a better heat transfer characteristics, and it can be pressurised to attain a high temperature
Requires comparatively smaller pumps and heat exchanger for a given heat transfer rate
Is a better neutron moderator as well
All of these

Nuclear Power Engineering
In a pressurised water reactor (PWR), the

Coolant water boils in the core of the reactor
Use of moderator is not required
Fuel is natural uranium and heavy water acts both as moderator & coolant
Coolant water is pressurised to prevent bulk boiling of water in the core
