FRESH WATER BELOW THE SEA?: Scientists uncover billions of gallons of hidden fresh water off Hawaii.

Using a new technique that relies on tracing electrical resistance, a team of geohydrologists has discovered a never-before-seen way the islands’ volcanic soil collects and hides away freshwater beneath the ocean’s salty surface.

Accessing this freshwater could give Hawaii and other volcanic islands a more sustainable and future-proof solution to collecting water during times of need.

The next move? Drill baby, drill, and find out if the potential reservoirs really hold 900 billion gallons of fresh water.
