The reason why ice in the asteroids matters so much is that it could help explain something that makes our planet unique in the solar system - our beautiful blue planet is the only one to have a abundant supply of liquid water ... It means that asteroids could have played one of the most important roles in creating the Earth we see today.  Horizon: Asteroids - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, BBC 2010

The universal utilization of water power and its long-distance transmission will supply every household with cheap power and will dispense with the necessity of burning fuel.  The struggle for existence being lessened, there should be development along ideal rather than material lines.  Nikola Tesla

 

 

The water needed to irrigate golf courses is enough to meet the needs of 80% of the world’s population.  Dark Side of the Greens, BBC 2015

 

 

Three-quarters of the sphere is covered in water.  The Universe s1e6: Spaceship Earth, 2007

 

Where did Earth get the water from?  ibid.  

 

The Asteroid Belt [is] located between Mars and Jupiter.  These warm ice-bearing bodies may have the same water as Earth because they were all formed in the inner solar system which is closer to the Sun.  What’s more, startling new evidence suggests that these usual comets may not only have delivered water to Earth, they may also have seeded our planet with the building blocks of life itself.  ibid.  

 

 

Earth: The third planet from the Sun is brimming with breathtaking beauty.  Unlike any other body in the solar system liquid water covers nearly two-thirds of its surface ... It’s the only planet confirmed to support life in all its forms.  The Universe: Seven Wonders of the Solar System (One)

 

One feature on Earth is abundant liquid water.  It is thought the earliest volcanoes spewed out massive amounts of steam which condensed into rain and supplied the planet with water.  But recently, new sources of water have been suggested.  And water appears to be a key component for the origin of life.  ibid.  

 

 

Only 3% of the water on our planet is fresh.  Yet these precious waters are rich with surprise.  All life on land is ultimately dependent upon fresh water.  David Attenborough, Planet Earth: Freshwater

Life on Earth depends on seas, rivers and rain.  But is our blue planet unique?  Or did the universe create countless other wet worlds just like it? … For decades scientists have been trying to establish the origins of Earth’s water.  How the Universe Works s4e7: The First Oceans

 

The collision with Thea leaves the crust of the Earth bone-dry.  So where does the water we see today come from?  Was our planet originally formed from much wetter rock than the scientists had believed?  Or were the oceans delivered to the Earth much later?  ibid.

 

 

There is more water held in underground aquifers like this than in all the lakes and rivers of the world.  Richard Hammond’s Journey to the Centre of the Planet, BBC 2011

 

 

We know that liquid water is essential to Life.  Life probably got started in a water environment.  Laura Danly, Griffith Observatory

At the heart of the terraced culture is the system of irrigation.  Jacob Bronowski, The Ascent of Man 2/13: The Harvest of the Seasons, BBC 1973

Britain begins the most radical clean-up in our history ... Pure uncontaminated water is available for all.  The British VI: Tale of Two Cities, Sky Atlantic 2012

 

 

Demand for coal was heavily outstripping supply ... The solution to the problem was found in the last place you’d expect: down the mine itself ... Water.  And you’ve got to get rid of it because it runs downhill ... And this is the engine that powers the pump.  It’s a very special engine.  Mark Williams, Industrial Revelations s1e1: Boom Time, Discovery 2002
