  Hi!
  
  Well in order to make water turn back into hydrogen and oxygen you have to put enough energy in to overcome the bond energy of the hydrogen and water. Normally this process is conducted via electrolysis and it takes approximately 1.23 V to split water apart. It is quite energy intensive!
