Why did harrington go to other side of hazard to hit shot after putting ball in water?

This was because when you hit into a water hazard you must take a penalty drop, the rules regarding a penalty drop from a water hazard states you must drop no nearer the hole. If Padraig dropped on the same side of the green that is closer to the hole, so he had to go to the other side.
You have referred to the stroke and distance rule, consider this. Under stroke and distance he must keep the point where the ball entered the hazard between himself and the pin, this was impossible. As I have said above, he can not drop nearer the hole, where he hit the ball from is irrelevant.
He did have the option of replaying the shot from the original position, but he quickly decided he didn't want to do this.

What is the Procedures for taking relief from casual water hazard in golf?
There is no such thing as a casual water hazard, there is either casual water or a water hazard. Casual water is anywhere through the green where you take your stance and what is clearly visible.

If you are in the water hazard you have the option to play the ball or take a penalty drop (1 stroke) You can * Take a two club length drop, from the nearest point of relief (which is the spot where you are no longer in the hazard) * Use the designated drop zone * Go back to as near as possible to where you played that previous shot from * or, go back as far back as you want, keeping the point where your ball entered the hazard between yourself and the pin and play another shot.
