Scientists Discover Massive Freshwater Reserves Underneath The Ocean Floor - Business Insider
Australian researchers said Thursday they had established the existence of vast freshwater reserves trapped beneath the ocean floor which could sustain future generations as current sources dwindle.

Lead author Vincent Post, from Australia's Flinders University, said that an estimated 500,000 cubic kilometres (120,000 cubic miles) of low-salinity water had been found buried beneath the seabed on continental shelves off Australia, China, North America and South Africa.

Human ingenuity knows no bounds. Now we shall see technology being developed to tap this new resource.

Good news for the Australians, who seem to be suffering from water scarcity the most.
