It is neither physiologically harmful nor a good idea. Manatees get all their physiological requirements from the food that they eat. Occasionally they will migrate to fresh water sources to supplement this requirement. They can be attracted to artificial fresh water sources as well, such as water control structures. The problem with offering fresh water to manatees is that it creates the same potential problem as the "don't feed the bears" situation. It alters their natural behavior, conditions them to interact with humans and/or boats and boat facilities, which potentially increases dangers to them. While difficult to enforce, providing food and/or water to manatees (an endangered species) is also technically illegal.
Yes, they can! Years ago in The Florida Keys I ran into one in a marina. I held a garden hose up to him and he couldn't get enough of it!
No, they are one of the nicest creatures on our planet. They have no natural predators, but they are still endangered. The main reason why they are endangered is because of pollution.
