Water/electrical barrier

I'm no expert (at all) and this idea is probably retarded as hell but anyway just dribbling an idea here.

 

Would two electrical rods in a body of liquid (on the furthest sides -|_|-), so that:

 

1: If a line was drawn between the two lowest parts, it would reach the deepest part of the liquid.

 

and

 

2: There were no gaps between the electrical rods and the furthest of the sides of the body of liquid.

 

Would there be anyway that an electrical current between the two rods could be conducted through the body of liquid to essentially create a barrier (as in could drain one side of the body of liquid and have the opposite not be drained).

 

I'm not suggesting water will actually do this but what about additives added that group together when in the presence of electrical current or a certain ratio of amps to volts etc. etc.

 

I'm happy to hear a 'no, you have no idea what you're talking about'.
