Heh. THE big problem is that we have observed things slamming into the moon. Both "free range" bolides and man made objects. We also see the same pattern on our stellar neighbors, such as MARS (wiki), and the impacts of huge proportions. Since we have observed these events we can make a rational projection of these observations, and these observations in no way supports water bombs hitting the moon in the manner suggested.
What, before the earth's crack-a-lackin', the moon was as smooth as glass? Gimmie a fuckin' break. Look at impact sites on the earth, as there are several. I doubt very much the end Cretaceous object was an ice ball, although it is highly likely that both the earth and moon have been struck by comets of mostly water ice on multiple occasions. Some evidence suggests that the Tunguska explosion was a comet, but the absence of pre-impact sighting of a tail or some brightening makes this problematic.
To assert such a position (water bombs via floodite woo) is tantamount to a public display of serious mental issues that need immediate attention by a team of professionals. Our stellar neighborhood is a dangerous place, and not perfectly designed to allow us to frolic, despite the ravings of the impaired. We, as a species, still do not have the technological know-how to deflect a really big rock on a collision course with any degree of confidence, IMO. A K-T sized pop would give us, as a species, a challenge. I doubt very much we would still have the net.
