Event Details

Malta is one of the most water-scarce countries on Earth, and climate change is squeezing our freshwater supplies further every year. But there’s a surprising twist: vast reserves of fresh and slightly salty water lie hidden beneath the seafloor, trapped there since the last ice ages.

Reaching this water could ease the pressure in coastal areas, if only we knew where to look. At this stand, step into the search yourself.

Pin on the map where you think hidden freshwater is waiting, then see how your guess compares to real discoveries and to predictions from an AI trained to hunt for it.

Come reimagine where our water really comes from.
