Huge Fresh Groundwater Reserves Found beneath Ocean Floor

According to many researchers from Australia’s National Center for Groundwater Research and Training and Flinders University, a lot of freshwater has been found under the seabed on continental shelves around the world. This is good news considering the massive demand for water everywhere recently. Studies show that the amount of water that was found could sustain countries for decades. There are two ways to get to this water under the seabed and that is building a platform out at sea and drilling into the seabed or you can drill from the islands/main lands close to the aquifers. Although both are very costly, it could be very worth retrieving the abundance of freshwater that is needed everywhere.
