When you think of getting freshwater from the ocean, you might imagine costly and environmentally damaging desalination plants. But one team of researchers thinks there could be a simpler strategy ...
How ocean water vapor may be an answer to a climate change issue Only 2.5% of the Earth's global water supply is fresh water and supplies are shrinking with the unrelenting advance of climate change.

Dr. Attias’ work shows that within the rock of the island below the waves, there are underground rivers of fresh water flowing 2-½ miles out into the ocean.
The water deposits begin at around 600 feet below the ocean floor and bottom out at about 1,200 feet, researchers said, and it's believed that they hold at least 670 cubic miles of fresh water.
The Arctic Ocean as well as the Nordic Seas did not contain sea-salt in at least two glacial periods - once about 70,000 to 60,000 years ago and also 150,000 to 130,000 years ago.
The Arctic Ocean was once a pool of fresh water capped with an ice shelf half as thick as the Grand Canyon is deep. If that's hard to envision, don't despair.
Stunning new evidence suggests the Arctic Ocean was covered by a thick layer of ice and filled with fresh water on at least two occasions during the past 150,000 years.
If swimming in it isn't enough, you're reminded how salty the ocean is when you accidentally swallow some. Here's where that salt water comes from.
Fresh water present on Earth ‘500 million years earlier than previously thought ... The findings challenge the existing theory that Earth was completely covered by ocean four billion years ago.
