When Reading Sci-fi, we need to be immersed in some technological, futuristic universe, particularly in this case when the story is not necessarily horror or suspense. Unfortunately the plot device of a broken water valve in an advanced deep space vessel came off as uninteresting. There some problems with realism of the plot. If you just lost all of your water, having a character say they need a shower doesn't make sense. What jumped out too is why send a distress call for crew member loss but not from the water problem. Plus, if someone could answer a distress call for rescue, couldn't they repair and resupply? Or are they out in space alone? Bringing in cryosleep brings up the question why are they awake for long stretches and not in hyper sleep? Couldnt they hybernate while waiting for rescue? I am terribly Sorry, I don't have any recommendations that would salvage this story to make it something of interest, it might be a dead end
