'Water' Story Code: '102' by Ronald D. Moore

Boomer comes to and finds herself in the Galactica’s armoury, but is unable to recall the events that led her there; checking her surroundings, she is horrified to discover that six high-explosive charges are now missing from their case. Terrified that the amnesia that prevents her from accounting for the devices’ whereabouts could mean that she is an unwitting Cylon agent, Boomer turns to Chief Petty Officer Tyrol for help; together they concoct an explanation that will shift the blame from Boomer, and soon a desperate search is mounted by the crew. However, before the devices can be located, a massive explosion rips through the ship’s water tanks, expelling the precious liquid into space. With the Galactica’s water supply reduced to critical levels, Adama gives the order to search for a suitable planet where they can replenish their supplies - but the chances of such a find are slim, and time is running out... Meanwhile, on the Cylon-occupied world of Caprica, Helo and the other Boomer have almost given up hope of rescue, until they finally receive acknowledgement of their distress calls. Back on the Galactica, it has been determined that only five charges were involved in the explosion - unless Boomer can recall if she was responsible for placing the sixth charge, another violent explosion seems imminent...
