Scientists used geothermal drill-hole temperatures in Oregon’s Cascades and found at least 81 cubic kilometres of water hidden in volcanic rock, nearly 3 times Lake Mead’s capacity
Oregon’s Cascade Range(Representative image by Canva) Beneath the forested slopes of Oregon’s Cascade Range, scientists have uncovered a vast, hidden reservoir of water locked inside volcanic rock. By analysing temperature data from geothermal drill holes, a University of Oregon-led team estimated that at least 81 cubic kilometres of water are stored in the region’s subsurface,…
