You would need to be clearer as to why you would want this. At the
simplest level you could just note the residue and atom indices that
leap generates in the prmtop file. These numbers are unique and the
crystal waters will be just the ones with the lowest indices. Maybe the
adddPDB feature in ParmEd can be useful for annotation of the prmtop
file.

For MD you may want to be careful with renaming residues because for
sander/pmemd the name WAT is special (see jfastw flag).


Cheers,
Hannes.
