Scientists Tap 'Secret' Fresh Water Under Ocean, Raising Hopes for Thirsty World

ABOARD LIFTBOAT ROBERT: Deep in Earth's past, an icy landscape became a seascape as the ice melted and the oceans rose off what is now the northeastern United States. Nearly 50 years ago, a US government ship searching for minerals and hydrocarbons in the area drilled into the sea floor to see what it could find. It found, of all things, drops of fresh water under the briny deeps.

This summer, a first-of-its-kind global research expedition followed up on that surprise. Drilling for fresh water under the salt water off Cape Cod, Expedition 501 extracted thousands of samples from what is now thought to be a massive, hidden aquifer stretching from New Jersey as far north as Maine.
