The aim of this work is to explain the possible mechanism in the early Solar System, by which water-rich asteroids may have been delivered to Earth. Carbonaceous (C-type) asteroids, with a large fraction of water molecules, dominate in the outer part of the asteroid belt and the possibility of their migration toward Earth is still not well explained. In this work, we observe very efficient dynamical routes along which C-type water-bearing asteroids are delivered to Earth.
