it's possible to overdose on water... So you'd just kill her by drowning or by water toxicity....

actually, Water toxicity is a medically acceptable way to refer to it. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537231/

I think the problem with water poisoning / water toxicity was if you drank a ridiculous amount of water and tried to hold it in for as long as possible. If you let your body dump the excess liquid out of your system, then I think you'd be good, assuming it didn't deplete your salts or otherwise upset your chemical equilibrium too much.

That's normally true, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way. If enough water makes it into your body quickly enough to drop the salinity of your bloodstream far enough, your body literally won't be able to pull the excess water back out of your cells, since water flows toward salt. This can especially happen if you're on an anti-diuretic, but sometimes the body even produces its own anti-diuretic inappropriately (e.g. as a response to nausea, which can happen if your stomach is overfilled - your body thinks it's going to lose a lot of water in vomiting, so it signals to your cells to hold on to the water they already have). In such cases, your body won't dump the excess liquid out of your system. The typical solution is ironically a saline drip, but with a significantly higher concentration of salt than a typical saline drip so the osmotic gradient can pull water back out of your cells. Attempting to consume salt orally usually doesn't work at this point because you're seizing and/or unconscious.
But that's ruling out the other problems. Running your kidneys non-stop can cause them to fatigue. If your bladder is being continuously stretched, it can cause damage. And forcing all that liquid through your urethra can also cause damage there. If you did this long enough, even with the water actually being an isotonic solution with electrolytes and nutrients, once your urethra starts bleeding from being worn raw, you're going to start having some problems. Finally, there's the fact that if this *isn't* an isotonic solution of electrolytes and nutrients, it *will* upset your chemical equilibrium considerably. Your kidneys use up salt to pull water from your bloodstream. Even if you allow water to escape through urination, eventually you will deplete your sodium, and you'll end up in the same situation where your body can't pull water back out of your cells or out of the bloodstream into the kidneys. The excess water will also mess up with a huge number of other chemical processes as well, which will probably still happen over an extended time even if you do replenish those electrolytes.
