Plain water on a clear and smooth glass plate won't do much at all for stone preparation or lapping, so I'm not sure what a suggestion like that will really do.
Generally, these stones are good to go when new but if you really find your set in need of some lapping then some silicon carbide powder on a smooth, wet surface will work best.
For normal preparation, you can also rub two of these stones together (surface to surface) under running water. Use a stone and its next stone up in grit progression. In other words, don't use the smoothest and coarsest stones to lap each other. If you have a Nagura stone, then that works even better for surface conditioning.
