   The issue of water availability (or the lack of it) has often been mentioned by researchers who work on Rapa Nui/Easter Island, when we started to examine the details of the hydrology, we began to notice that freshwater access and statue location were tightly linked together. It wasnt obvious when walking around--with the water emerging at the coast during low tide, one doesnt necessarily see obvious indications of water.

The pattern was striking and surprising in how consistent it was. Researchers had already identified groundwater discharge in coastal areas as a key factor in the statues placement on Easter Islands coast. In the latest stage of the research, experts examined how the availability of freshwater in certain areas was linked to the methods and means of building the statues.

4. Tom Buschatzke:

   Even really good hydrology – if it tracks the way it’s been tracking – it’s going to buy us 6 months or a year at most, it’s not going to stabilize the system in any meaningful way.

5. Benjamin Weiss:

   You need energetic flood conditions to carry rocks that big and heavy, it's a special thing that may be indicative of a fundamental change in the local hydrology or perhaps the regional climate on Mars.
