Abstract in brief

Adequate water intake is essential for maintaining gut microbiota balance and immune function, which are crucial for effectively eliminating pathogens.
Water restriction causes disruptions in gut homeostasis, leading to an overgrowth of gut microbes and a decline in immune cells like T17 cells, impairing pathogen clearance.
The water channel protein aquaporin 3 plays a key role in supporting T17 cells, highlighting the importance of water in sustaining gut immune defenses.]
