Answered
At what depth is the proposed hidden water reservoir located?
Scientists have identified it about 2,900 km (≈1,800 miles) below Earth's surface.
How large could the water reservoir be according to the coverage?
NDTV and WION suggest the water volume could be comparable to two Pacific oceans.
What new compounds were reported and what is their significance?
Theprint.in reported two newly identified mineral compounds that can trap water’s building blocks under extreme pressure and temperature, supporting the hypothesis of deep water retention.

Inshorts reported that researchers have identified a hidden water reservoir located approximately 2,900 kilometers (about 1,800 miles) below Earth's surface. The discovery hinges on minerals found to remain stable under the extreme pressures and temperatures expected at that depth. This initial finding introduced the possibility of a vast, previously unknown source of water deep within the planet.
ScienceAlert echoed the depth figure and framed the find as a potential hidden ocean. While NDTV and WION present the discovery as a massive subterranean ocean, theprint.in’s focus on mineral chemistry introduces a more cautious interpretation, emphasizing the role of specific compounds rather than sheer volume. No outlet provided direct measurement of the water mass, and the scientific community has not yet confirmed the reservoir’s existence beyond mineral signatures.
Current reporting leaves the hypothesis open pending further experimental verification.
