Rowly, it is too soon to let them in water. Also, they are not able to clean themselves with any efficiency at this point. I don't let them in water until they are about 6 weeks old. They will play with the water from your waterers and get damp that way. As far as the heatlamp is concerned, the birds will get as close to the lamp as they need to. You really don't have to worry over much about it at this point. After about 2 weeks, they would really like a treat of some chopped up greens. Anything works, dandeline greens, lettuce, spinach, just chop it up good and spray it with water, they will absolutely love it. You can also try adding some cracked corn to their diet after 4 weeks or so. If they are ready, they will eat it. It's good variety and cheaper than the growth food. My Khakis and Buffs are just about 8 weeks old and are supplying most of their own food foraging around eating grass, seeds and bugs. My first experience with these 2 breeds and sure are beautiful. Also, Khakis are the most prolific layers among ducks, some will lay as many as 365 eggs a year! Keep me posted.
