David reveals that if you drill deep enough in Syracuse, you will hit an aquifer full of saltwater. It is a leftover from a massive ancient ocean that stretched from Albany to Michigan and down to West Virginia, roughly 700 million years ago. The salt from that prehistoric body of water is still sitting underground today, meaning salty water is never far below the surface in this region.
