With the river analogy, Voltage = pressure, Wattage = how much water is passing, Current (Amps) is how wide the river is.

Pressure * Width of river = Amount of water passing

Not sure that helps with passing it through the terms and then to variables.

Water analogy works better with plumbing. A river, not so much. But people aren't that much better at understanding plumbing, unfortunately...
