'''Water''', chemical formula H<sub>2</sub>O, is a common chemical substance that is essential to all known forms of life. In typical usage, water refers only to its liquid form or state, but the substance also has a solid state; ice, and a gaseous state; water vapor or steam. Its chemical make-up is a covalent bond of two [[hydrogen]] atoms and a single [[oxygen]]. The covalent bond is strong, but the energy released from breaking this bond is low and hard to capture. It is a polar molecule, forming weak hydrogen bonds between the positive hydrogen ends and the negative oxygen end. Due to its polar characteristics, water cannot mix with oil or other non-polar substances. | |||
The [[Global Water Campaign]] and its [[GWC Trans-African Pipelines]] were designed to transport the still relatively clean melt water from [[Mount Kilimanjaro]] across the entire [[Africa]]n continent. Multiple facilities of the GWC, including [[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]] and [[Voi Municipal Water Pump House 03]], were sites of combat during the [[Battle of Earth]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', '''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''.</ref> | |||

*Water is utilized as a death barrier in some maps and the player is killed upon hitting the water or when hitting the water becomes inevitable. | |||
*[[Frank O'Connor]] is a self-confessed fan of video game "water". | |||
