Please put model, engine & year. Without that info there's little chance of an answer.
Looking at the angle of the belt something's definitely not right.
HOWEVER. A look at your post history suggests this might be a 90 & you've posted this issue on more than one forum.
From looking at those I suspect the bearing in the front of the pump has failed allowing the shaft to sit to the left. Take the belt off & I suspect the shaft & pulley will wobble about like a good un. If that is the case then you need a new pump as has been advised.

Usually best to confine questions to one forum, cross posting leads to all sorts of confusion.

its a disco 200 tdi and its not surprising water pumps leaking with pulley alignment been so far out
He's posted about this over several sections on here today.
Here's his offering in the 'Introduce yourself' section:
Hi all
Thanks for the add totally new to owning Landrover 90. Owned my Landy for just over 2 months now, just had an issue with engine temp gauge in red subsequently when checking coolant it was empty!!!! On filling it was pouring out quicker than I was pouring in yet to investigate further as this occurred late last night and I was in work early this morning
Any recommendations for decent knowledgeable garage local to Liverpool would be appreciated TIA

No result from the OP but my money's on the pump bearing disintegrating. This will instantly trash the seal & water will then p!ss out as fast as you put it in, plus the spindle is no longer held in its normal position & the tension of the belt will pull it to one side so it looks like an alignment issue.
Had one fail that way on my V8 RRC years ago. Followed by a big argument at the counter with Brown Bros in Birmingham that the water pump they had in stock & wanted to sell me was the right one. Turned out they didn't have the right one in stock & thought it would do
Fortunately another of the Brum LR specialists had one AND I'd got a full toolkit with me as I'd gone to sort a starter motor issue with my eldest's 205 at his student digs.

wrong size belts installed or both belts have been mixed up looks like some one may of possibly changed the 10 by 605 belt to a shorter belt by passing the water pump while the other pulley drives an auxiliary looking at one of the belts it looks new
the water leak should not to be to hard to find as the OP has time to take a snap shot but lazy to climb under neath to pin point it
i have never seen a water pump ran down to this destruction before but i have seen the wrong type of pulley installed and possible the wrong way
the photolooks deceiving and is this mounting blocks straight the whole pic looks twisted

Totally off mark fella, I for one am not lazy and you are really off the mark stating the belts are wrong size...…..
