Why would the Kazon value water?


In the first episode of Voyager, Neelix and the Kazon are shown to value water extremely highly. Neelix goes hog wild over its abundance on Voyager. Jabin is impressed by a mere flask full. The Kazon-Ogla freak out over a few hundred gallons. This makes sense when they're shown to be an isolated, primitive mining village on a desert planet.


Later in the episode, the Kazon are shown to possess enormous spaceships with shields and weapons able to quickly reach the Caretaker and battle Voyager.


Voyager makes the point that the Kazon don't have transporters or replicators... but water isn't hard to make. If you have enough power you can reduce just about anything into hydrogen and oxygen and combine them to make water. If you can figure out how to maintain a warp drive, you can figure out how to make water. If there's no suitable matter where you are, fly to somewhere there is.


The writers wisely drop this premise. Anyone want to take a shot at propping it up with an in-universe explanation?
