Narrative:

On landing in olive branch airport with WX at 200 scattered 1800 broken 4000 overcast, 3 mi, light rain, encountered water on runway approximately 1000 ft from approach end. Runway orientation was runway 18/36 and we were landing on runway 36. Winds were reported on AWOS as 090 degrees at 15-20 KTS. When encountering water on the runway, aircraft began hydroplaning. Left main wheel slid off the left side of runway. Aircraft came to stop with left main gear about 1 ft off the runway with about 1/2 of the main tire in mud. No damage and no injuries. Heavy rain was falling approximately 1/2 hour before touchdown. Olive branch is an uncontrolled airport, so no mention of water on runway.
