![Image alt text](https://electrical.codidact.com/uploads/JRTMMSgBLXidewc8v3GShRjC)Measuring the resistance of water from my tap I got 500kOhm. Adding considerable amount of salt brought it down to 20kOhm:
The question I have is why water is such a danger for short circuits if the resistance is so high?
Is there an issue with the measurement technique, or are there other reasons?
