Yes, redstone is magical not electrical. However it would allow for some interesting creations if people could "electrify" water and use it to activate redstone devices. You could redirect signals using piston floodgates, transmit signals directly downward using waterfalls, not to mention the simple ability to transmit across an ocean without having to build a bridge above it or a tunnel beneath it.
I suggest a new type of block I'd like to call an "Inducer." When the inducer receives a redstone charge it would electrify (redstonify?) any water that's directly adjacent to it. When the inducer loses the charge the water would return to normal.
Electrified water would look slightly different. It'd have a slight reddish glow and the surface would emit little red puffs just like redstone. Electrified water would act like activated redstone, electrifying all the blocks it passes. For example, if the electrified water passes by a block with a door on it, the door would open. And if there is redstone on a block next to the electrified water, that redstone would be activated and could carry the charge back to normal non-water circuitry.
The electrical charge would only travel through water for a maximum of 7 blocks (in all directions). There would be ways of extending this though. Inducers would not be able to activate other inducers. However you could use electrified water to activate repeaters, which would then activate other inducers to carry the charge further.
Since inducers would let people extend the range of their redstone devices they should have a very high crafting cost, as to not overshadow normal redstone wire.

What do you think?
givinh a current to water acts as if you have placed it again, so no. and if your wondering what i ment water always flows down hill, if you make a nother hill behind it and then block part ofthe one infront of it you can make traps

Well, you wouldn't have to electrify water that's used in traps that way.
Although soon redirecting water with redstone will be unnecessary since you'll be able to do it with pistons.
That gives me an exciting idea: a piston floodgate that's activated by the very water its blocking.

I would use it. :3
