Core level spectroscopy is a powerful tool to obtain information on the unoccupied and occupied valence electron structure. The sensitivity of the valence electronic structure of water to different local H-bond situations is presented, where ice is used as a model system to approach important scientific aspects such as the local structure of liquid water, nature of the hydrogen bond, radiation induced ultrafast dissociation of water, and electron delocalisation and trapping processes. A number of experiments are presented together with spectral calculations based on density functional theory, revealing important information on the above listed aspects.
