There are moons out there that are more like giant snowballs - so much water that it dwarfs even our reserves.

There was an old sci-fi trope that the reason aliens attack earth is to get at our water.

The problem with that was, 1. there are better sources of water (the oort cloud) and 2. they aren't stuck in an gravity well.
