From the Baltimore Sun: Most people throw out a jug of milk after a week or so. The oldest bottle of wine, on the other hand, is the most savored.
But what about water?
Some of what comes out of faucets in Annapolis, Leonardtown or Easton, it turns out, is older than the finest vintage — and the practice of dairy farming itself.
Glaciers that melted more than two million years ago deposited layers of
sediment around what is now the Chesapeake Bay. Underground rivers run
between those layers, tapped by wells and recharged by rainfall over
time. The water flowing in them is tens of thousands to more than 2
million years old, according to recently published research, a fact that
had been theorized but never proved. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-old-water-20120715,0,3750495.story
I just wonder how old the water here in Las Vegas. My guess it is as old as the Maryland water as is most water. Just think about all the water may have seen or run over in 2 million years, especially before humans came to earth.
