Scientists from Boston University (HEY NOW) have discovered a huge underground lake beneath embattled Darfur.
Darfur is, or course, primarily desert today, which contributes significantly to both the conflict and the problems posed for aid agencies. Competition for scarce resources, like water, leads to friction between the black farmers and the Arab nomads. And the agencies attempting to help the estimated 2 million Darfurian refugees are constrained by the need to carry water or remain close to existing sources.
This new find, which is roughly the size of Lake Erie in the US (and that is a LOT of water), could conceivably change everything in this ravaged area.
Can it really be this easy?
