Professor Barbara Sherwood Lawler of the Department of Earth Science, University of Toronto, Canada is a renowned geologist. Lawler is a researcher who has conducted many studies related to ancient groundwater. Lawler drank the ancient water fortitude recently discovered during research. Water is 2.6 billion years old!

Lawler’s work was watched with concern by the research team. After drinking the ancient water, Lawler described his experience to the world. Lawler said the water was salty. The water was the thickness of maple syrup. In an interview with the media, Lawler reveals that he has never tasted something so salty.

At first glance, the liquid looked like ordinary water. Meanwhile, when combined with oxygen, the color of water changed to orange. Lawler explains that the saltiness of the water is due to interactions between the water and the rock.

In 2013, the presence of water was discovered by a group of scientists engaged in research activities in a mine in Canada. At the mine in Timmins, Ontario, the water was between granite-like rocks.

The granite-like rocks were located about 1.5 miles below the Earth’s surface. It was possible to determine the age of the water by examining the sample.
