Depends on what you mean....

I'm not sure how to run a current "threw" as in past tense of "throw"

but if you'd like to run a current through water, almost nothing would happen unless there is some solute (ions) to allow the current to pass.

But in such a case that you would allow current to flow through, say tap or salt water, the water would begin a process known as electrolysis:

and the Hydrogen and Oxygen would separate into their respective gasses (and some ozone and (i could be wrong about this last one) but Hydrogen Peroxide as well) would be created
