Water has the limited ability to conduct minimal electric micro-amps primarily due to impurities within. However, adding some salt to the water dramatically increases its' ability to conduct electron from one pole to the other. It then becomes an active semi-conductor.

it is only a conductor when it has salt particles in it. Otherwise is not a conducting element
