I dont think filling it with water would be a good idea. Then water might collect up there an cause the rust cancer!!

My guess is the it runs down through the b-piller and out the bottom, but im just guessing here.

The front drains, run down tubes and empty at the rear of the front fender.
The rear drains, run down the B pillar to those plastic vents just ahead of the quarter windows.

I like to blow them out with air and test each drain with a cup of water,once a year,just to be sure nothing is wrong.Also,if you ever remove the plastic vent covers on the B pillars,be very carful when you put them back in.If you dont get everything in order,the water will end up between the walls of the B pillar and inside the unibody.

I learned this lesson after re-assembling my car after paint.The tube,plastic collector,cover and steel body edges have to be "inside" each other in order to route the water out correctly.....think of overlapping shingles on a roof,each one has to be engaged to the next one,or the water will go right through the assembely.
