That's not what a water-mediated hydrogen bond is. That's when a water 
molecule simultaneously participates in hydrogen bonds with two other 
species. GROMACS does not have the ability to do such calculations 
easily. It would require one calculation of H-bonds between species A 
and water, saving those waters into index groups per frame, and then 
computing the H-bonds of those waters with species B in a separate 
calculation. Only then do you get the number of water-mediated (not 
direct) hydrogen bonds.
