The Hidden Reservoirs: Mapping the Global Distribution of Paleo-Groundwater
Water BodiesIntroduction to Paleo-Groundwater Paleo-groundwater, also known as fossil groundwater, refers to ancient water that has been trapped underground for thousands or even millions of years. Unlike modern groundwater, which is part of the active hydrologic cycle, paleo-groundwater is isolated from the surface water and precipitation that normally recharge aquifers. Understanding the distribution and characteristics of
