I dunno, I wouldn't do it, alot of flavour from hamburgers come from the maillard reaction!

I've see this technique used by a Canadian Chef, Micheal Smith when he fries bacon. A little water in the pan helps to even the cooking and make heat control better. At the end of the cooking, the water is gone and the bacon while crispy, doesn't get burnt. I've used this technique while making pan-fried teriyaki chicken wings. Turned out perfect.
This place filters the same grease used from 1912:
Hamburger America: Dyer's Burgers

Burger documentarian George Motz visits Dyer's Burgers in Memphis to investigate the joint's unique deep-fried hamburgers.
"Back then, they didn't have the flat tops and all this, so they cook in a cast-iron skillet," Dyer's owner Tom Robertson says. "As you cook more burgers, the grease grows, and eventually it becomes a deep-fried hamburger. We strain and process our grease daily, but we've never thrown it out and started over, so somewhere in there's molecules from 1912. That's what makes it so good."

Hmm...hot pan and a lotta grease...Let's dump some water on it!
If you have bought hamburger from the store latley it seems there is so much water in it you are near poaching it anyway.
