the claim

Deserts contain large amounts of groundwater in aquifers beneath their surface.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that deserts contain large amounts of groundwater in aquifers beneath their surface?

Unclear. The retrieved items only partially bear on the claim: one study documents a regional aquifer beneath an Iranian desert playa, and other items confirm that aquifers exist as groundwater reservoirs, but none establishes that deserts generally contain large amounts of groundwater.
