closing engine water intake

I know that if your A4 does not start before you crank your engine repeatedly, you should close your water intake. My understanding is that if you do not do this water can be forced into your engine.

I'd like to understand how this happens. I was trying to explain this to a fellow on the dock the other day and could not fully explain (or at all) the mechanics behind how this happens.

Thanks!
