Often, this is due to a sudden increase in the load current due, for example, to the the starting current of a motor which has been switched on -this causes a temporary increase in the voltage drop along the line, which is often noticed when the lights in a property temporarily dim. Other causes could be due to external sources, such as a neighbour operating welding equipment.
Sudden rise in Voltage is called Impulse voltage.
The water people turned it off incase of leaks
Computers are sensitive electronic devices violent voltage fluctuations can burn up individual components or corrupt your data.
Because that is what a capacitor does, resist a change in voltage. It holds a certain amount of energy per charge (voltage), and to change that voltage requires current proportionally to the capacitance.
Some causes for a sudden water pressure drop: 1) A big leak on the main supply line. 2) one or more faucets or shower heads opened on the same water line. 3) A utility water pump failure.
Sudden starting of large inductive loads..
Sudden rise in Voltage is called Impulse voltage.
it is electrical device connected with high voltage current grids in order to protect the system from sudden drop or sudden change is voltage.

That would be 'spiking'
The lights flicker when an appliance turns on because the sudden increase in power demand causes a temporary drop in voltage in the electrical system, affecting the brightness of the lights.
Slaughter.
A sudden and dramatic increase in voltage typically caused by lightning is known as a power surge. Power surges can damage electrical equipment and appliances if they are not properly protected by surge protectors or other safeguards.
Asphyxiation
There are several causes of sudden water retention. Poor circulation, premenstrual symptoms, salt, or a blockage in the lymphatic system can all cause this condition.
a surge of testosterone in males and it causes ovulation in females.
