Drinking a lot of water is NOT going to make you stop your period any sooner than if you were to not drink alot of water honey. There's no magical potion or spell you can concoct to make it end quicker.
You could always get on a birth control pill. Those tend to shorten the time span of how long you're on your period every month, sometimes you can even keep taking them and not have a period but every 4 months. (It's important to have at least 3 periods or more per year.)

No, drinking a lot of water on your period will not help you get off it quicker. It's still going to run the course that is normal for you. The drinking a lot of water (which is a good idea for anyone so that they can stay hydrated) will probably make you go to the bathroom a lot.
There isn't anything (other than taking the pill and then that isn't a guarantee that it will help either) that you can do to make your period end quicker. You can lighten the flow a bit if it is causing you a lot of cramping by increasing your iron levels by eating things like spinach, raisins, and peanut butter (if you aren't allergic to peanuts). I found this helpful to me.
I would recommend double checking with your dr to be on the safe side though.

No it wont. Drinking water just helps with cramps. If you have cramps really bad just drink a lot of water, but other then that i dont think there is anything to help you get off it quicker. Trust me if i knew i would be doing it lol!

Taking the pill. Wanting it to go away makes it stay longer, or so it seems. I take Ortho-Micronor, which is 28 days of active pills, and I never get my period. The only caveat is that you have to take the pill at the same time every day. If I am late by even one hour, I will start to bleed later that day.

I don't think that drinking water would make your period get over faster.Even though that would be nice.
