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.

Is water bad conductor?

Pure water, consisting of only h2o molecules is a very weak, if at all, conductor of electricity. However, if it is not purified, or if there is something else in it, like say, your hand, it becomes highly conductive.
