水對生命非常重要，沒有水，我們頂多只能撐三天。但水是一種有限的資源。地球上只有百分之三的水是淡水，其中人類能用的不到百分之一，另外百分之二的水在南北極。今天世上有超過十億人無法取得清潔的飲用水，我們終於被迫面對一個殘酷的事實：未來世界上將會有許多地方的淡水變得非常稀少、昂貴，而且不再是我們能控制的。

當地球變得越來越乾燥，水源不單只是一個國家的命脈，也變成了危險的戰爭武器。本集鎖定了全球最容易爆發爭水源爭奪戰的熱點，讓觀眾知道有些地方的水戰爭已經開始了。

Parched - Global Water Wars

Water is so essential to life that we cannot survive without it for more than three days. But it’s limited. On Earth, only 3% of our water is fresh, with less than 1% available for human use. The other 2% is locked inside the Poles. Today, with over a billion people lacking access to clean drinking water, we are finally being forced to confront a stark reality: a future where, in many parts of the world, fresh water is scarce, expensive, and out of our hands.

As our planet dries up, access to water is not only a powerful lifeline – it has also become a dangerous weapon of war. This episode zeroes in on the world's most vulnerable hot spots for water-related conflict, revealing that in some cases the Water Wars are already upon us.
