I did some clicking around. The effectiveness of water cannons when dispersing unruly demonstrators is undeniable, and they ARE used in some other countries. But the reason they're not used here, as far as I could ascertain, is because they might "play badly in media".
Too bad, actually. Not only would it break up the demonstrators but it would give many of them a much-needed bath.
