Scientists discover a massive underground “sponge” that can supply water to rivers and entire cities

Now, scientists have uncovered a giant underground “sponge” capable of supplying water to rivers and entire cities. This sponge isn’t artificial. It’s made of volcanic rock — the remnants of ancient lava flows — that act as a vast, porous water storage system.
