Water (episode)

"Water" is the sixth episode of Stargate Universe.

Synopsis
Much of Destiny's water reserves mysteriously disappears. The ship then reaches an ice planet, where the crew attempt a harvest in order to replenish the supply.

Meanwhile, Tamara Johansen works to catch an intruder believed responsible for the lost water.
