Surely you can see that the example

All atoms of a residue LIG within 0.5 nm of a protein (with a custom name):
   "Close to protein" resname LIG and within 0.5 of group "Protein"

is very similar to what would be needed for all water residues within 
some distance of your solute.

VMD uses a similar approach. BioPython probably likewise. There's no 
genie going to wave the magic create-a-layer wand. You need to learn how 
to create a layer from a definition that suits you, because you'll 
probably have to vary that definition until you're happy with the outcome.
