Water (in its normal, household form) is a potent conductor of electricity. Hence the risk of electric shock is greatly increased if an electrical device is wet or near water. It should be noted that it is not water itself which conducts the electricity, rather it is the dissolved solids normally found in household water that creates the risk.
