"Hydro" is part of the name of the Canada-wide service company  
that manages the electric (and nuclear) power facilities.   
Canadians are used to using the term "hydro" when we refer to  
the electricity services to our homes.

A few days without water is not a disaster for me. I have  
plenty in single bottles and some larger containers for times  
when everything shuts down.
