Radhia Achouri, spokeswoman for
the U.N. Mission in Sudan, said she
could not comment because she had
not read a report on the discovery
and was not sure how soon the water
could be exploited.
The water reservoir lies underneath a former
highland lake whose features are covered
by wind-blown sand, researchers said. The
ancient lake occupied an area of 11,873 square
miles, about the size of Lake Erie, and
would have contained approximately 977 square
miles of water when full.
Scientists plan to identify the best location for
drilling the initial batch of wells. The government
of neighboring Egypt has pledged to drill the
first 20 wells, and the U.N. Mission in Sudan
also plans to drill several more for use by its
peacekeeping forces, the university said.
The Darfur conflict began in February 2003,
when African tribesmen took up arms,
complaining of decades of neglect and
discrimination by the Arab-led Khartoum
government. The government is accused
of arming militiamen as a counterinsurgency
tactic, which it denies, and the militiamen
are blamed for widespread rapes and killings
of Darfur civilians.
In March, the State Department issued a report
calling the campaign by the Sudanese military
and its proxy militias against Darfur rebel
groups genocide , a term the United Nations
has refrained from applying to Darfur.
