Controlling ground water is necessary to preserve an ancient Egyptian site. Soil and ground water readings and seismic measurements have led researchers to believe there may be even greater archeological treasures to be found. They are considering various drilling and pumping procedures to limit the water damage and enable further discovery.
Pacific island nations face most critical freshwater supply problems in the world. “Skimming wells,” or long horizontal pumping systems, are providing help for the problem.
The launch of a series of scientific drilling expeditions that will retrieve geological samples and provide scientific data from the Nankai Trough fault zone has taken place. Scientists are prepared to drill deeply into the Earth to observe earthquake mechanisms.
