A comment by a friend: ” Aquifers that were last contributed to more than 5,000 years ago. This water is not renewable so it should be left where it is. Bringing it to the surface will only encourage unsustainability and multiply the number of people suffering in droughts in years to come.The idea that this can somehow trigger a new hydrogeological cycle in these arid regions is ludicrously and dangerously ill-informed.”positive-press-daily: Scientists say the notoriously dry continent of Africa is sitting on a vast reservoir of groundwater. They argue that the total volume of water in aquifers underground is 100 times the amount found on the surface. The team have produced the most detailed map yet of the scale and potential of this hidden resource. (click-through for full story)
