Death Valley. One of the hottest and driest places on Earth.
Do you know what else is in Death Valley ?
An aquifer containing pristine pure water estimated to be the largest aquifer in the US. No one knows how deep or large this aquifer is.
So, Death Valley is the driest and the wettest spot in the US, and probably on the planet.
“An aquifer containing pristine pure water estimated to be the largest aquifer in the US.”
And where does all that water go? It goes by pipe to fill swimming pools and provide drinking water for Los Angeles, thanks to a fellow named Mulholland.
