(introduction...)
External services can prove to be a major problem in some countries. Power supplies are prone to disruption, sometimes to the extent of becoming routine, and are subject to frequent voltage fluctuations. Water supplies, although generally not limited, are often at low pressure and at a supply temperature in the range of 20-30°C in tropical countries.
