'''Water''', chemical formula '''H<sub>2</sub>O''', is a common chemical substance. Its chemical make-up is a bond of two [[hydrogen]] atoms and a single [[oxygen]].


'''Water''', chemical name '''dihydrogen monoxide''', 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 and 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.
==Universe and lore==
Water is found throughout the [[Milky Way|galaxy]] on a number of [[planet]]s with a variety of climates. Water on these planets are mainly found in [[:Category:Bodies of water|large bodies]]. [[Shield world]]s and [[Halo Array|Halo installations]], both built by the [[Ecumene]], also contained large water bodies. Some beings on these worlds, like the [[Sea worm]] or the [[Sanghelios]] [[Unidentified aquatic creature|creature]], live predominately in the water.


== Appearances in the [[Halo Universe]] ==
Sentient species have utilized water for a number of purposes. [[Human]]s and [[Sangheili]] have both developed [[Human marine craft|vehicles specifically to traverse]] those water bodies. Human and [[Covenant]] engineers have also used water for electricity and [[Plasma]] generation, like [[Ütközet hydroelectric power plant|on]] [[Reach]]{{Ref/Level|HR|[[Nightfall]]}} or [[Hydro-processing center|on]] [[Buwan]].{{Ref/Level|HR|[[Penance]]}} Humans also sell forms of water like with [[H2Oh! Vitamin Water]].{{Ref/Map|HI|[[Bazaar]]}}


*Water is seen in plain sight during the majority of all the Halo games. It appears in six of the ten levels of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', nine of ''[[Halo 2]]'''s levels and almost all of [[Halo 3]]'s levels, in some form or another (excluding water vapor in a latter form). [[Damnation (Level)|A hydro-processing plant]] was one of the multiplayer levels in Halo: Combat Evolved, and also, in the first level of Halo 3, Sierra 117, there is a large battle at a dam.
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/Level|H3|[[Sierra 117]]}}{{Ref/Level|H3|[[Tsavo Highway]]}}
*In ''[[Halo 2]]'', the entire level [[Regret (Level)|Regret]] takes place on, around, and even underneath, a large lake.


==Trivia==
==Gameplay==
*Water is utilised as a death barrier in some maps. In [[Halo 2]] maps [[Headlong]] and [[Waterworks]], 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".
Water is seen in plain sight during the majority of all the Halo games. It appears in six of the ten levels of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', nine of ''[[Halo 2]]''{{'}}s levels, in three ''[[Halo 3]]'' levels, and in seven maps in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''. It is further seen in ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Halo 4]]'', and ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.
*Bodies and objects will float on water for a while, then sink in [[Halo 3]].


==Images==
In ''Halo 3'' and ''Halo: Reach'', bodies and objects will float on water for a while before sinking.

Water is often utilized as a death barrier in some maps and the player is killed upon hitting the water or when hitting the water becomes inevitable. However in some cases on [[Forge World]] and [[Forge Island]], there are a few water areas that won't kill the player at all.
