I'll take a look. Thanks.
[EDIT: OK, at 400-600km down it seem there's a mineral that contains about 1.5% water. And there's enough of it that the total amount of water in it is perhaps three times the amount in the oceans.
But any event that affected those rocks enough to get them to release a significant amount of that water would be much more catastrophic than a flood.]
