Researchers hope to drill at least 1,000 wells in the area and pump the long-hidden water to the surface, perhaps hastening the end of a four-year war that has left more than 200,000 people dead, displaced more than 2.5 million others and destabilised neighbouring Chad and Central African Republic."
