You're misinterpreting the meaning behind being an ally. It's not necessarily about distancing oneself from something you have, but working to create access for people that don't. So in your water example, being a good ally could be as simple as writing a letter to your MLA or MP to support facilities that bring clean water to affected communities to going as far to donating to or working campaigns that aim to bring clean water to affected communities. Instead of looking at this from a perspective of you losing a benefit, look at it from a perspective of bringing a benefit to someone that doesn't have it.
