Water discoveries span a vast range of fields, from massive underground freshwater oceans found beneath the Atlantic and deep mantle reservoirs trapped in a mineral called ringwoodite, to deep-space detections of water vapor surrounding distant quasars.

Deep Earth and Oceanic Water Discoveries
Researchers have made staggering discoveries regarding where water resides on our planet:
The Deep Mantle Ocean: -
Seismic data and rare diamonds containing ringwoodite have revealed a massive reservoir of water trapped 700 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface, potentially holding more volume than all surface oceans combined. Sub-Seafloor Aquifers: -
Expeditions exploring beneath the Atlantic Ocean have identified vast hidden freshwater reserves trapped under the seafloor. These massive aquifers act as natural water systems and hold incredible potential for future municipal resources. 
For a closer look at how these massive hidden freshwater reserves beneath the Atlantic were detected and what they mean for our planet.
Massive Freshwater Ocean Found Beneath the Atlanti
Astronomers and planetary scientists continue to uncover the origins of water on Earth and in the broader universe.
Ancient Cosmic Oceans: -
Astronomers using infrared telescopes discovered a colossal cloud of water vapor 12 billion light-years away surrounding a quasar, estimated to contain 140 trillion times the amount of water found in all of Earth's oceans. 
Water Worlds: 
Observations from instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope have confirmed the existence of "water worlds"  where a huge fraction of the planet's total volume is likely composed of water. 
The Quantum State of Water
Beyond macro-discoveries, scientists have also discovered an exotic fourth state of water. 
In confined spaces, like the tiny six-sided channels of the mineral beryl, water molecules exhibit quantum tunneling. This allows the hydrogen atoms to exist in multiple spots at once, smearing them out into a wavy ring that fundamentally alters our understanding of water's properties.

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
