Fossil water

From Freepedia

Fossil water or paleowater is groundwater that has remained in an aquifer for thousands or more years. The Ogallala and Nubian aquifers are among the most notable of fossil water reserves. Lake Vostok is an exceptional example that is not an aquifer.

Extraction of fossil water is sometimes referred to as mining due to the fact that it is generally a non-renewable resource.
