That was the right thing to do, probably won't touch the water. Did you see a nest in the small tree? There must be a nest around there that the babies fell out of and the mother is trying to take care of them on the ground. The largest worry is a predator finding them on the ground which is a very likely scenario unfortunately. If you find/see a nest you can put the babies back in it for some protection and despite the "old saying" about being rejected the mother will continue to take care of them. I hope they survive OK, Good luck!
