This is the necessary energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram with 1 kelvin.
4.184 J/g-K
Typical heat capacities are (exact values depend on temperature): Solid (Ice): 2.108 kJ/kg·K Liquid (water): 4.187 kJ/kg·K Gas (water vapor/steam): 1.996 kJ/-kg·K In comparison - you can see that liquid water has a higher heat capacity that ice or steam.
Properties differences between liquid and solis water: density, specific heat, standard molar entropy, refractive index, thermal coductivity, the liquid has viscosity etc.
Specific heat is the measure of energy it takes to raise a unit mass in temperature by one degree Celsius. When measuring a compound that is water soluble, heat it separately to a specific range, then use the liquid to calculate the amount of heat that was used.
Fevers would run higher if liquid water's specific heat were lower. The amount of energy need to raise our body temperature would be less. Although the body would still develop control mechanisms to regulate the temperature to prevent heat death of the cells.
* Specific heat capacity water liquid 4186 J/kgK "typical" ... 4210 J/kgK @ 275 K ; minimim 4178 J/kgK @ 308 K ; 4215 @ 370 K * Specific heat capacity water solid is 2050 J/kgK@ 270 K, drop to 1392 J/kgK @ 175 K * Specific heat capacity water vapor is 1890 J/kgK @ 375 K, up to 2000 J/kgK @ 575 K
water has it's highest specific heat in it's liquid state at 4.184 J/g-K
The specific heat capacity of water does not change much within-phase (ie, as a solid it has one specific heat capacity, as a liquid/gas it has another)
The specific heat of liquid water is 4.183 J / g K. Lithium liquid has a higher specific heat at 4.379, as does Hydrogen gas at 14.30. Helium gas also does at 5.1932 Finally, liquid Ammonia has a higher specific heat at 4.700.
if you know the specific heat of the liquid you're using to replace the water, any liquid you want
Your first statement is false, water actually has a high specific heat and therefore is a good coolant.
The phenomenon is called perspiration; each liquid has a specific enthalpy of vaporization.

determination of specific heat capacity of liquid by method of electrical heating
Properties differences between liquid and solis water: density, specific heat, standard molar entropy, refractive index, thermal coductivity, the liquid has viscosity etc.
that means more energy is needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of liquid from 1 Celsius than water.
