In what could quench the thirst of billions of people in the future, researchers have discovered our planet's largest water reservoir 640 km beneath our feet - bound up in rock deep in the earth's mantle.
This water is not in a form familiar to us - it is not liquid, ice or vapour.
This fourth form is water trapped inside the molecular structure of the minerals in the mantle rock.
Scientists have been looking for this missing deep water for decades," explained geophysicist Steve Jacobsen from Northwestern University.

The Hydroplate theory. I have studied it. All the geologic evidence supports the theory and it drives the morons who are gradualists, “billions and billions of years” nuts, they fumble for their medications and empty the liquor cabinet.
This “evolutionary theory” isn’t science and the evolutionists know it but they cannot abide with a living God.
So be it. Let them learn the truth in front of God. God already said this would happen.
We just live our lives on a videotape that God already saw before the heavens and earth and all of us were created.
And I actually surmise that there are miles of solid gold serving as the base structure for this molecular water. I need some grant money to figger this out fersure. Good Grief!
planet running out of water...... PLANET RUNNING OUT OF LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE AND SCIENTIFIC FACT....
An idea also vociferously espoused by the FR space kadet contingent along with colonizing Mars and colonizing the moon and other unfeasible stuff.
One wonders at the the true depths of human stupidity, when on a planet covered 2/3 with water, millions are convinced that there is a danger we might run out.
Thanks docbnj!
> It is as even more impossible and impractical to get at this water directly as it would be to ship minerals here from the moon, which is another nutty idea one occasional sees featured in journalism of the grocery-store check-out-line level.
There are ways to bring material mined from asteroids — gold, silver, the platinum metals, rare Earths — down, and it will be done, and economically, within a few generations. But mining the Moon for Helium-3 (that’s the only thing I recall seeing on FR, btw) doesn’t make sense because there’s no He3 fusion reactors, and it doesn’t seem very likely that there ever will be.
But but but!...
IF we were able to get all that He3, we’d have to do *something* with it!
Until controlled fusion is demonstrated (and I’m fairly sure it won’t be), there’s no reason to bring back He3. Depending on the actual yield, it will probably remain uneconomical to fetch it from the Moon using chemical propulsion, and in fact, as we move into methane/reformer fuel cell technology for electrical power generation and get the methane from the hydrates and clathrates on the sea floor, fusion research is likely to become more and more a tough sell.
What I’ve noticed is that those who claim the Earth is gaining or losing water (seas rising or falling) cannot explain where this water would come from or go to.
Between the minor amount of water evaporated into space and the ice crystals which we attract as we spin through our solar system, I don’t think the amount of water on Earth has changed significantly in a long, long time.

Amazingly, the earths water is really a miniscule amount | 5/15/2012 | thanks central_va.The Louis Frank keyword:
