There is indeed a freshwater reservoir that has been located deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean. It is a very large aquifer laying below the ocean waters, and it is located just east of the northeastern coast of the United States. The water is though to be brackish. It is an aquifer that is estimated to have around 670 cubic miles of freshwater over an area of around 15,000 square miles. This is a very interesting and encouraging discovery. The world is having bigger and bigger problems with freshwater, as it is lacking in lot of places around the world, and many more are on the verge of having none. If such aquifers exist in numerous spots below the ocean floors, then that water can be used to satisfy the demand for water in the places were it lacks, thus lowering the problem with the water shortage.
