I could say heat,
but I think you mean electricity
So:
pure water doesn't, but a little salt will turn it into a conductor.
But it's it ions, not the water, that conducts.

Water only conducts electricity when it has impurities in it, ie : nearly all the water you will ever come into contact with in your life.

Is water highly conductive?
Pure water does not conduct electricity. However, since it is almost impossible to have pure water, anything wet will normally conduct electricity. Water almost always has some salts in it, and that provides the free electrons required to conduct electricity.
Why does bath water conduct electricity but pure water does not?
"Bath water" or normal water, usually contain many impurities. These impurities, such as ions (especially calcium ions) help the water to conduct electricity very efficiently (just like sea water). However in pure, dH20, there are no ions and impurities. The self-ionization of water isn't enough to conduct a current. Therefore, pure water doesn't conduct current, and is actually a pretty good insulator.
Is SrOH2 conductive?
Strontium hydroxide does not conduct electricity as a solid, but does conduct it when molten or when dissolved in water.
Which kind of water conduct the most electricity salt water or pure water?
Salt water
Will a plant produce cork?
To conduct water
Does pure water conduct any electricity at all?
No, pure water does not conduct electricity because there are no other solutions present. For the water to conduct electricity, there has to be an electrolyte. Salt water, Tap water, and sugar water do conduct a little electricity because they contain soluble ionic compounds.
Would conduct electricity mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
What mixes with water that can conduct electricity?
An ionic compound dissolved in water is an electrolyte and can conduct electricity.
Would conduct electricity when mixed with water?
A water solution containing ions conduct electricity.
Does baking soda and water conduct electricity?
Yes, When Baking Soda is dissolved in water it will conduct electricity
How do water conduct electricity?
Water can conduct electricity. I know this because when it rains water can spin a turbine which power electricity from movement
Does freshwater conduct lightning?
Yes. ANY water can conduct lightning.
How can you stop the water to conduct electricity?
If the water is extremely pure (and therefore has almost no ions), it will hardly conduct electricity.
Does water conduct battery electricity?
It doesn't conduct electricity if it is pure water as there are no flowing ions. But in un-pure water electricity can be conducted.
Is water conductive?
Water that is highly purified will not conduct. Not all purified water is minerals free. minerals help the water conduct better and pure water doesn't have minerals, so the water doesn't conduct and doesn't make electricity. Pure water will not conduct current it is the minerals found within the water, that allow current to flow. Rebecca Gosselin 11 years old
What In water melon make it conduct electric?
the water
Can tap water conduct electricity?
Yes. Pure H2O will not conduct electricity but any natural water has dissolved solids in it which allows it to conduct.
