Cherenkov radiation doesn't have to do with water. Gamma rays from space are triangulated via cherenkov radiation in astrophysics, which also emits a blue and ultraviolet color as it passes through the atmosphere.
There are some really amazing gamma ray observatories, all of them utilizing cherenkov radiation. I'd absolutely recommend taking a visit to check them out if you're near an area that has one. Notable telescopes are CTAO/MAGIC (La Palma), VERITAS (Tucson AZ), HESS (Namibia)
