'''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]].
{{SeeWikipedia|Water}}


==Universe and lore==
[[Image:Water.jpg|thumb|155px|A barrel of water.]]
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.


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''', chemical name '''dihydrogen monoxide''', 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/Level|H3|[[Sierra 117]]}}{{Ref/Level|H3|[[Tsavo Highway]]}}
== Appearances in the Halo Universe ==
*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''.
*In ''[[Halo 2]]'', the entire level [[Regret (Level)|Regret]] takes place on, around, and even underneath at one point, a large lake.
*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]], are encountered in ''[[Halo 3]]'', with minor references to it in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:H3_GruntInWater.jpg|thumb|Bodies and objects will float in water.]]
*Water is utilized 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.
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]]''.
*[[Frank O'Connor]] is a self-confessed fan of video game "water".
*In ''Halo 3'', bodies and objects will float on water for a while, then sink.


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.
