During the 1950s, the Kariba Dam was constructed along the river, and a 150,000,000 acre-foot reservoir created. And during the 5-years that it took to fill the lake, the weight of the water triggered 20-earthquakes. I'd never heard of this. __________________ Photobucket album: http://s1271.photobucket.com/albums/jj622/aerohead2/

The other night PBS terra was talking about pumping sea water under a sinking venice to raise it above the tide level. __________________ casual notes from the underground:There are some "experts" out there that in reality don't have a clue as to what they are doing.
