No, water is not a better conductor of electricity than silver.

Water can become a better conductor in acidic medium(by decreasing its pH). But it may split up into Hydrogen & Oxygen.

In terms of electricity, water is a better conductor than any type of plastic due to the amount of free electrons. The dirtier the water, the better the conductor.
