waters under the earth

Three quarter's of the planet's water is underground, deeper than any well - about 400 miles down. It is stored within 'ringwoodite' rock which is hydrotropic and traps water in a sponge-like crystaline mesh. It was discovered and measured by seismometers which detect earthquake shockwaves travelling through the earth and bouncing off different types of rocks in characteristic ways.
It is thought this water may travel from the surface through subduction vents, where continents are gradually meshing into one another in subduction zones at the bottom of most oceans.
Are these the ”springs of the great deep” in Gen.7.11? Or is this where all the water went after the earth was totally covered by water 4 billion years ago shortly after life started?
