| Summary: | Basing on researches conducted from 1956 to 1958, the<br />A. completed in May 1959 a comprehensive study about the phenomena<br />of subsidence occurring at the time in the region of the Po delta. In its<br />conclusion, the study indicated the prove necessity to close down the<br />thousands of wells for the extraction of methaniferous waters, to which<br />nearly all the enormous subsidences of the ground observed in the Delta<br />were to be imputed. To substantiate his conclusions, the A. resumed &mdash;<br />in two appendices &mdash; the course of two (among many) phenomena of abnormal<br />subsidences observed over the globe, and undoubtedly induced by<br />analogous causes.<br />Now, nine years after their redaction and convinced of the soundness<br />and actuality of the conclusions reached, the A. esteemed appropriate to<br />have these studies published; he introduces them by a " premise " and adds<br />a sequel drawing convenient comparisons, from which issues clearly the<br />warning against the consequences of proposed and, partly, already developing,<br />indiscriminate extractions of water or natural gases in vast zones of<br />the upper Adriatic. The latest course of events in the Venice region<br />constitutes by itself a motivated alarm already. |
