In time of crisis, which do you prefer to have electricty or water. I prefer to have electricty its hard to walk around in darkness. and with the heat i am sure the kids will be irritated and will definitely cry all night. Water can be bought in the groceries, bottled waters for our needs and wet wipes to clean our body. For our utensils there are disposable glass, cups,plates, spoon and fork. How about you?

hi I think Johan I would have to choose water as we can live without electricity for awhile but our bodies are 90 percent water and we
need water to survive. So much as I w ant to say electricity without water to drink we would not last long. We could use gas or wood to heat a stove to cook with or cook over a bon fire but clean water is a must always.as for hot weather one can always open some windows and let the outside air into your home. If your children do not get enough water they will be ill from dehydration. According to a lot of doctors we all go around a bit dehydrated as so many still do not realize that water is really very essential for us and we should drink eight to ten glasses of water each day for maximum good health.

In times of crisis? Is this a temporary one? Let us say, it will be gone for a few days? Well, you are right, it is hard to have no electricity because of the heat and perhaps it is a source of income, say having an online or internet job. Without electricity, you cannot be productive.

I initially thought I would choose water. But you do have a point about being able to buy water outside and using wet wipes to clean our bodies. But when it comes to a time when we have limited money and we have to choose between paying for electricity or water, I would probably choose water since water is essential for our survival while electricity is not

I would say water because without that you can't use the toilet, drink or have a wash. Electricity is also very important but candle light and other light can be used if needed so i wouldn't say its as important, the only problem would be needing electricity for the gas boiler to work to have heating.
