The Truth
Ringwoodite. It's basically a layer below the surface I think. I doubt the water will be used for places that need it after purification. But I hope it's put to good use.
Bruh I doubt any of us ever really see that water or be able to put it into practical use for a long time… :mjlol:


Maybe China will tho:ehh:

In the context of the geology of the Earth's mantle, "water" is any trace amount of hydrogen found in minerals.

Sci-Hub | Water in the Earth’s Interior: Distribution and Origin. Space Science Reviews, 212(1-2), 743–810 | 10.1007/s11214-017-0387-z if anyone wanted a more technical description.

2.1 Definition of “Water”
Although water is primarily in the form of H2 O molecules in the hydrosphere (atmosphere
and oceans), deeper in the Earth, what is generally referred to as “water” is actually H
incorporated as various species in minerals, melts and fluids (Fig. 1). In the latter, i.e. sil-
icate/carbonate melts or volatile-rich fluids, H can occur as water H 2 O, hydroxyl OH, hy-
drogen gas H 2 , methane CH4 , hydrogen sulfide H 2 S, and possibly more complex H-bearing
molecules at high pressures (e.g., Stolper 1982; Dixon et al. 1988; Carroll and Webster 1994;
Kohn 2000; Luth 2003; Mookherjee et al. 2008; Song et al. 2009; Zhang and Duan 2009;
Hirschmann et al. 2012; Bali et al. 2013; Armstrong et al. 2015). Melts and aqueous fluids
are generally thought to become miscible at high pressure (> 6 GPa) in the upper mantle
and the resulting super-critical fluids may contain water as both H 2 O and OH (e.g., Kennedy
et al. 1962; Bureau and Keppler 1999; Mibe et al. 2007).

I'm not sure what that guy posted cause I have him blocked but I'm sure it proves he has brain damage.
Apparently the desert people that digged wells to extract water wrote in the bible that there is water underground...
