Water is basically a stream of H2O particles running down a pipe. Electricity is basically a stream of electron particles running down a wire. Particles going down a pipe can be measured in terms of their energy lost per unit distance and in terms of the total amount of flow per unit time. Particles with energy flowing down a pipe can also be slowed down to store potential energy in different ways.
This is why:
Electricity has voltage while water has pressure.
Electricity has current while water has flow rates
Electricity has capacitors while water has water towers
Electricity has inductors while water has water wheels.
