Incorrect. Water is constantly being consumed and created. Photosynthesis is a chemical process whereby water is split into hydrogen and oxygen, thus serving as a source of electrons for the photosynthetic electron transport chain. If you like, I could go into it in gory detail, starting with photons and the oxygen evolving complex and finishing with Fd-NADP+ reductase and F1-F0 ATP synthase. But I digress.
At the same time, every time you breathe, you are exhaling water vapor created by Complex IV in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, the final step in the oxidation of organic molecules to carbon dioxide and water, which is how all non-autotrophic aerobic organisms get their energy.
There are other natural processes where water may be consumed or destroyed, but these are the biggies.

If this process creates dihydrogen monoxide, rather than destroy it than I am all for it!
However, again, there may be a problem, we will be monkeying around with the chemical makeup of the atmosphere, and adding water to the earth... there has to be some consequences for this...
I don't know though, I am not a chemist

The process starts with water, and ends with water. There is no net destruction or production of water. Which is why all claims for energy production from this phenomenon are total and complete bullcrap.
