      I can survive without electricity. I cannot survive without water!

Water - being without either one is no fun but if I am out of electricity I am also out of water because I have a well.  In addition to which I was out of water for two weeks when I didn't have the money to get my well fixed and it was terrible but I made it.  I washed in water in the sink and since I had electricity I was able to heat it up some which made it tolerable and I carried in jugs of water from the store or my son's to drink and cook with so - again neither one is tolerable to be without.

Depends on the details. If I am in the desert, I would give up electricity. I have a pool, so being without water isnt hard, I can boil pool water  :D

Definitely would give up electricity. You can't live without water..need it to survive. Just like going back to the old days when there was no electricity...Candles and build a fire.

This would be a very difficult decision. Both require a lot of thinking and depending on your budget. should I buy more water, or heat the house with outside wood and fire? I would say I can live without electricity because you can always make a fire but I would be going back to the primitive way of life.
