Air is more important because if we don't have it we will die way quicker then not having water.

About 70% of the fat free mass of the human body is made of water. To function properly, the body requires between one and seven litres of water per day to avoid dehydration; the precise amount depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity, and other factors. Most of this is ingested through foods or beverages other than drinking straight water. It is not clear how much water intake is needed by healthy people. For those who do not have kidney problems, it is rather difficult to drink too much water, but (especially in warm humid weather and while exercising) it is dangerous to drink too little. People can drink far more water than necessary while exercising, however, putting them at risk of water intoxication, which can be fatal. The "fact" that a person should consume eight glasses of water per day cannot be traced back to a scientific source. There are other myths such as the effect of water on weight loss and constipation that have been dispelled.
The latest dietary reference intake report by the United States National Research Council recommended (including food sources): 2.7 litres of water total for women and 3.7 litres for men.[7] Water is lost from the body in urine and feces, through sweating, and by exhalation of water vapor in the breath.
Humans require water that does not contain too many impurities. Common impurities include metal salts and/or harmful bacteria, such as vibrio. Some solutes are acceptable and even desirable for taste enhancement and to provide needed electrolytes.

Water is composed of two of the elements found in "air" : hydrogen and oxygen. The existence of water depends upon the existence of "air", not the other way around....

I agree with the top 2 answerers before me=)
Water is made up out of Oxygen anyway so truly you can't have one without the other.
But truthfully, I'd pick water over air.
Our body mainly consists of water & we need it (water) to function; water is my final answer.

Water cannot exist without air. Especailly true of water since it is made up of oxygen.
A person cannot exist without both. I would subsribe to the theory that I would not want to be without either.

In theory neither are more important, without gravity neither would exist.
