A volt is a Joule per coulomb (i.e. charge carrying bucket). An Amp is a Coulomb per second (i.e. number of charge carrying buckets per second, so this is the water speed in the analogy). The charge per bucket is the width of the pipe. Regardless, a lot of either Volts or Amps is a bad thing as VxA = Watts, i.e. power.
