Narrative:
Due to pitot-static failure with air data computer (air data computer) failure detected; after following QRH for EFIS comp mon IAS and air data computer 1 failure followed by uncommanded autopilot disengage; it was difficult to see which airspeed indicator was accurate. The isi showed a 55 knot difference than air data computer 1 and 2 at 5;000' MSL; [and] air data computer 1 and air data computer 2 were 10-15 knots different in speed. On approach; we had to hand fly the ILS. During the approach; course deviation and correction was continuous and due to task saturation with the conditions; I [declined] when directed to go around because of the lateral deviation. We had the field in sight and determined it was safer to land than to go back into IMC with airspeed accuracy difficulties. Determined from maintenance that there was water in the pitot static [system].

Title: CRJ-200 flight crew reported experiencing system failures including airspeed indicator malfunctions that were later traced to water in the pitot static system.
Narrative: Due to pitot-static failure with Air Data Computer (ADC) failure detected; after following QRH for EFIS COMP MON IAS and ADC 1 failure followed by uncommanded autopilot disengage; it was difficult to see which airspeed indicator was accurate. The ISI showed a 55 knot difference than ADC 1 and 2 at 5;000' MSL; [and] ADC 1 and ADC 2 were 10-15 knots different in speed. On approach; we had to hand fly the ILS. During the approach; course deviation and correction was continuous and due to task saturation with the conditions; I [declined] when directed to go around because of the lateral deviation. We had the field in sight and determined it was safer to land than to go back into IMC with airspeed accuracy difficulties.
