"Groundwater" is a little ambiguous - H2O in the mantle is also "ground water", no?
- moralestapia 2y agoIt's not. The mantle is hundreds of kilometers further down.
- pfdietz 2y agoNo, that "water" is actually hydroxyl groups in minerals.
- chrisco255 2y agoNo it comes out of the tap as water.
- mkl 2y agoNo tap water comes from the mantle.

- pfdietz 2y agoThat's water going into the mantle.
- DiggyJohnson 2y agoNo, it’s completely inaccessible. Unless you are just playing word games, then sure.
- ClumsyPilot 2y agoGeologically it probably isn’t. If all surface oceans disappeared, some of that water would likely come out to the surface and form new bodies of water, over millions of years.
