Abstract	Water is necessary for any living life form. However, it has been discovered that water in the mantle governs the mechanisms that drive the dynamic earth system and keep the planet alive, unlike other planets in the solar system, which are considered dead. Water regulates the rheological properties of rocks in the mantle, and its existence has been confirmed through seismic investigations, which have revealed two notable discontinuities at 410 km and 660 km. The transition zone between these zones is considered a water storage site. It has been proved to contain approximately 1000 ppm of water, consistent with several other estimations of water content. Seismic tomography depicts the water transport mechanism and provides insight into the phase transformation kinetics occurring at discontinuities.
