水对生命非常重要，没有水，我们顶多只能撑三天。但水是一种有限的资源。地球上只有百分之三的水是淡水，其中人类能用的不到百分之一，另外百分之二的水在南北极。今天世上有超过十亿人无法取得清洁的饮用水，我们终于被迫面对一个残酷的事实：未来世界上将会有许多地方的淡水变得非常稀少、昂贵，而且不再是我们能控制的。

当地球变得越来越乾燥，水源不单只是一个国家的命脉，也变成了危险的战争武器。本集锁定了全球最容易爆发争水源争夺战的热点，让观众知道有些地方的水战争已经开始了。

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.
