What exactly is the advantage of water? It has a thermal conductivity significantly below that of AS (and copper).

For reference, some thermal conductivies:
Water 0.56 W/m-K
AS5 8.89W/m-K
Copper 390 W/m-K

The specific heat capacity of water is not very interesting if it's not being pumped so, if I understand your proposal correctly, water is about as bad a thing as I can think of (well except say, air).
