will water speed up decomposition? if so how? do the chemicals in water make 
decomposition happen faster? if water does increase the speed of decomposition 
is using more water a good idea if your want decomposition to happen really 
fast? also, will warmer water help increase the speed of decomposition? i know 
that heat breaks down molecules so is it logical to think that because heat 
also breaks down water, the water molecules are more quickly released and are 
sort of more quickly available to start to break down what ever they're trying 
to break down? i hope this isn't too confusing.
