500 trillion tons of fresh water discovered under the ocean’s continental shelf

Before It's News) Nature – Offshore fresh groundwater reserves as a global phenomenon.The flow of terrestrial groundwater to the sea is an important natural component of the hydrological cycle. This process, however, does not explain the large volumes of low-salinity groundwater that are found below continental shelves. There is mounting evidence for the global occurrence of offshore fresh and brackish groundwater reserves. The potential use of these non-renewable reserves as a freshwater resource provides a clear incentive for future research.
