This document describes a depth-first search algorithm to solve the water pouring puzzle using two jugs of different capacities to reach a target amount of water. The algorithm recursively tries different operations of filling jugs, emptying jugs, and pouring water between jugs to reach the target amount while avoiding repeated states.
