More Water than all our Oceans, all Underground

Waters from the deep is a common way to describe mysterious deposits of water underground. How deep? Well this referenced article claims 400 miles deep in the Earth's mantle is a vast deposit of water.

"...This water is not in a form familiar to us — it is not liquid, ice or vapour. This fourth form is water trapped inside the molecular structure of the minerals in the mantle rock. The weight of 250 miles of solid rock creates such high pressure, along with temperatures above 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, that a water molecule splits to form a hydroxyl radical (OH), which can be bound into a mineral's crystal structure (Kounteya Sinha, TNN | Jun 13, 2014.

Massive underground reservoir of water, ‘three times’ the size of Earth’s oceans, located - The Times of India: ""Melting of rock at this depth is remarkable because most melting in the mantle occurs much shallower, in the upper 50 miles," said Schmandt. "If there is a substantial amount of H2O in the transition zone, then some melting should take place in areas where there is flow into the lower mantle, and that is consistent with what we found."

"...If just one percent of the weight of mantle rock located in the transition zone is H2O, that would be equivalent to nearly three times the amount of water in our oceans. "

CONCLUSION
"...The Quest of science is far from over and nature has abundant resources yet to be discovered and used for needs of humanity.All that is needed is to inspire our scientists for genuine research and keep sufficient funds for them to use (Tejinder Sidhu-- CHANDIGARH. LINK)..."

How to get 400 miles deep into Earth's mantle is what we will be Googling for our next segment. I suggest Chilean miners go because they are the best.
