Ok guys let me chip in my little knowledge about this topic. As for the Conductivity of H2O(Water) it's a very good conductor of electricity, no dispute about that but in a case where live wire/conductor fell into a body of water the Current/Voltage at the immediate vicinity would be higher and can easily electrocute or at some point kill but at a far distance to the live wire the impact will be felt but not as much. So in this case the electrocution or shock would not be as severe compared to when closer to the point of the Live-wire itself. Now this is where the case of HIGH TENSION, Low Tension & Lagoon body of Water will comes in. For High Tension;The electrocution will go very far but not in the whole Lagoon due to some factors and also LARGE NUMBERS of Electrons is contained in the High Tension While for Low Tension it would not be as much as High Tension.....However the impact like little Shock could be felt at a very far distance in both CASES. Too many factors applied though.
