that Hydrodynamic escape requires the Hydrogen to actually seperate from the Oxygen atoms(H2O is too heavy to escape)
no forces within the human body do that.
the only reason a machine would do that for industrial purposes would be to burn the hydrogen for something. guess what happens when you burn Hydrogen?...
the only Hydrogen escaping would be free Hydrogen in the atmosphere, not Hydrogen trapped as water.

Did you REALLY just treat Fire Warrior as canon? In it a single fire warrior kills a greater daemon, and plus, it isn't 40k, it is GW, it doesn't deserve to be mentioned.
In Mechanicum it says that Terraformation technology is lost, and though BL isn't always canon, the Heresy books were for the most part.

I think the population simply sucked all the water way for all the purposes humans use water. Yes, its a hive-world, other planets have hive cities, and still have water. But for the most part, those planets only sustain their own population. Terra, on the other hand, is constantly bombarded with pigrims who never leave. Either the water was consumed, or removed to make room.
All is forgiven if repaid in Traitor's blood.

It's more reliable than most internet sources, as the moderators fact-check, the links are checked, and, because of the community edit, more information can be added quicker, and without bias.

No, I proved that 1/4 is hive city. 1/4. Not the entire surface. Not sure how that can be interpreted as me proving your point...
In order for the oceans to boil away in the manner many of us probably imagine would have eliminated much of the atmosphere and caused much planetary distress that doesn't seem to be evident in the fluff.
The only way the water could be 'boiled' away without catastrophic damage would be if the water, over time, was cracked for energy.
Personally, I think it's possible that the water has been 'locked' up in the resident human population and the reclaimed waste is reprocessed and kept in a closed loop. Not to mention the teeming billions of pilgrims who come and go from Holy Terra taking precious water within them as they leave. Over time I would imagine this has had an effect.

Subject: Terra, the desolate, inhospitable wasteland.
Eh, I still don't htink the water is used up per se, but I would agree that it quite possibly is locked up in a system, perhaps it has been manually drained over many years, such as during the dark age of technology (in order to leave more surface space for construction of factories, laboratories, habitats, etc).
The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

Not in this case, these palaces are essentially continents. There is the hive, then there is the palaces.

Usualy when people say: "entire surface of the planet is covered in hive city" they really meant "entire surface of the planet is covered in buildings". And you are wrong again, in that case, 3/4 of the surface is Hive City and rest 1/4 are the state buildings. Imperial palace is on Himalayas, Chamber of the Astronomican is also there, Hall of the Astronomican is in Africa, Inquisition is beneath Antarctica, Navigator's Quarter is on the massive island ( Greenland maybe ? ), Ecclesiarchal Palace covers almost all of Terra's southern continent ( Australia ? ), Scholastia Psykana is somewhere in the Pacific, Hall of Judgment is somewhere south of India and for the rest of governmental building is unknown. The rest of Earth is part of the greatest Hive City in the Imperium ( much larger than just 1/4 of the planet surface ). Even if we take that Imperial palace covers all of Asia and Astronomican Hall all of Africa it still lives the Hive City that is great in scale in comparison to the governmental buildings.
I was thinking the whole time that you where stating that not entire surface of the Earth is covered in buildings.

The reason that Terra has no water and is, practically, a giant desert is becuase in the Horus Heresy, Warmaster Horus bombarded Terra with his Warships which would include Plasma weapons which boil water and vaporise it, SO, the water would have been bombarded away.

Right now, the greenhouse gases in our atmosphere is about 70% water vapour, and 30% of the other crap.
Boiling the oceans with plasma weapons would send all this water into the atmosphere, heating up Terra.
In the north and south poles, It would probaly be a wonderful island retreat. However, The equator area would be really, really damn hot.
And humid.
Then again, the water vapour might just form clouds, turning Terra into a land of constaint rain for hundreds of years.
But the water could be held in massive water tanks, and could be harnessed from other planets.

Usualy when people say: "entire surface of the planet is covered in hive city" they really meant "entire surface of the planet is covered in buildings". And you are wrong again, in that case, 3/4 of the surface is Hive City and rest 1/4 are the state buildings. Imperial palace is on Himalayas, Chamber of the Astronomican is also there, Hall of the Astronomican is in Africa, Inquisition is beneath Antarctica, Navigator's Quarter is on the massive island ( Greenland maybe ? ), Ecclesiarchal Palace covers almost all of Terra's southern continent ( Australia ? ), Scholastia Psykana is somewhere in the Pacific, Hall of Judgment is somewhere south of India and for the rest of governmental building is unknown. The rest of Earth is part of the greatest Hive City in the Imperium ( much larger than just 1/4 of the planet surface ). Even if we take that Imperial palace covers all of Asia and Astronomican Hall all of Africa it still lives the Hive City that is great in scale in comparison to the governmental buildings.
And again, what do Tau know about Earth?
miscommunication
