You can subject it to electrolysis and convert it into hydrogen and oxygen gas.

well if you had trillions of pounds a lot of time on your hands and a suitable site to build a particle accelerator you could have a go. basically you would need to create anti water. we have managed anti hydrogen (all 1 atom of it) so I'm sure if you had long enough you could make oxygen and then water. then all you have to do is bring it into contact with a water molecule and the water molecule and anti water would destroy each other to give energy.
however i think a better plan would just be to electrolyse it as everyone else has said to get hydrogen and oxygen gas but my way really would destroy it.

Water is matter. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, merely transformed. You can break water down in constituent elements (hydrogen and oxygen), split these up into protons and neutrons, down to the quark level, but you cannot destroy them. You can convert it to energy. But it cannot be 'got rid of' entirely.
Why would you want to, anyway?

why do u want to get rid of water anyway? Kids in Africa would give anything for water. Some people living in poor places in China would bath more normally if they have more water (Note : They only bath twice in their life time. First one, after being born. second, when they get married).

no when water heats up it turns into steam but once cooled down it becomes liquid again if frozen as you warm it up once again it returns to its natural state of a liquid.The only possible way of destroying it would be to seperate each molecule of hydrogen and oxygen and then to keep them seperate (impossible I'd say on a large scale0

Even if you break the bond between hydrogen and oxygen it doesn't take much for them to recombine. To totally destroy the possibility of them recombining one of them would need to be changed into something different either by squeezing atoms together or breaking them apart. Heavy Hydrogen can be made into helium.

If you can get your hands on some antimatter you could annihilate it with the particles making up your water molecules, hence converting them into energy. Sadly you would most likely be killed by this.

did they replace the valves with an identical type valve,if so they could ought to envision to be certain if those they put in are anti scald valves,that's what it appears that evidently like is occurring,I somewhat have over 800 gadgets and we've had to enhance a number of them with the anti scald valves,if the apt. you reside in is 25 to 39 years old danger is it truly is your subject

Nothing can be completely destroyed, just transformed into different structures.

Well you need to remember the first law of thermodynamics that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. Basically there is no way to get rid of matter. You can only convert it from one form of matter to another.

no, they say that u can use electrolysis but it just broke into its basic elements but "destroy" means to completely put out existence..
