I have often found myself saying i would rather have constant water supply than constant electricity. I say this especially after doing some cleaning in the house. I just find myself thanking God for creating water. I find it so useful that i prefer it to having constant light. Not that i prefer to stay in darkness anyway, i equally appreciate electricity. Though my brothers always disagree with me on this. They'll prefer to have constant electricity.

So fellow nairalanders, which wld u prefer to have if u had to choose one? Constant power supply or constant water supply?

both are essential - there is no preference for one over the other.

ofcourse both are essential and i know that. but just in case u have to pick one over the other, which will it be and why?

water! because water is life

I'd choose water.

There are substitutes for light - batteries, generators etc.

There's no substitute for water.

No alternative to water? Hmm, what about boreholes? Wells? Rain water? Commercial water tankers? Rivers?

Water over light, any time.

with water u can have a real clean environment. theres nothing like being in a clean house. it makes me confortable even if there is no light. try having light with no water to clean or cook. it really can be irritating.

The topic said, "constant light", or "constant water". It didn't say the source.

LLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL

il prefer constant electricity cuz if water is sporadic, it can be stored when it is running to be used for the down times, drinking water can be bought, but the cost of running generator Na il go for constant light

There are substitutes for light - batteries, generators etc.

@Siena: Batteries, Generators, etc are not substitutes for light either. They are sources of light, too.

Can't do without any.Both are very essential.

Constant clean and purifed water.  Who wants electricity when you cannot "flush" your "toilets"?

u are a nairaland faithful no doubt, but i no sure say u dey baf sha

In Naija, since I can get water at a relatively cheaper cost, I would go for constant electricity.

If I get the poster correctly, i think the options are Constant Electricity (i.e. PHCN running constantly no outages no falling poles. anytime of the day u switch on the lights it comes on.) versus Constant water (pipe borne water coming into your house at every turn of the tap).

I think i prefer light. water doesnt have to be constant. it can be stored. You can actually store a months supply.

@omena555

you go baff where riot dey:  
Na for Iraq i dey before , so i no dey baff.
