Abstract：The trace amount of water in mantle minerals can considerably affect the physical and chemical feature of the mantle, thus profoundly affecting the plate tectonics and the habitability of the surface Earth. For a long time, the water content in the sub-lithosphere mantle has been estimated mainly from the water content analysis of mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts, which has given the profiling knowledge of water in the mantle: 50×10-6 to 200×10-6 in the upper mantle and 300×10-6~900×10-6 in the lower mantle. In the past 10 years, new explorations on mineral inclusions hosted in super-deep diamonds, e.g., ringwoodite and Ice-VII, have revealed the water-rich reservoirs in the deep earth, which had never been sampled before. On other hand, the investigation of the water content in ultra-slow spreading ridge basalts, komatiites and picrites has shown that the water-rich reservoirs, not associated with subduction zone fluids, may exist in the deep earth mantle, and water in mantle wedges may recycle into the shallow asthenosphere and cause the water-rich mantle within the oceanic plate. However, the formation mechanism, water origin and position of such water reservoirs are not well known and deserve a long-term attention from the science community.
