What is a good reason not to mine a planetary ring?

Most planetary rings are rich in water in the form of ice, especially now we are running low on freshwater reserves on Earth. Imagine someone discovered a huge chunk of meteorite consisting of a whopping 100 million carats and decided to auction it and then use the funds to mine the Saturn's planetary ring by hook or by crook, hellbent, relentless...

Set in the immediate future everybody raced to space once again. What would be a good non-political reason that can stop all kinds of mining of the planetary rings just within the solar system? We have volunteers, cash, Alibaba... so why not?
