<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have long thought that ground reservoirs for
water would eventually sink without the pressure of water being exerted.
My only question is when will that happen. Obviously gravity will
have a say in it, but also the size of the reservoir and how thick the overhead
skin is.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>FYI, for those of you who get National Geographic make sure
you check out the map of all the offshore oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico
off Texas and Louisiana. If you don’t, find a copy. I can’t tell you the
last time I was so shocked. The number of platforms is absolutely mind
boggling. Who knew… <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Apparently the shoreline is actually getting lower. It’s
obvious that it’s a huge connected reservoir of oil. Is it the same with
groundwater? If groundwater reservoirs get “used up” and are not continually
recharged, is it possible for sinkholes to form? The ground above to collapse?
Just wondering…<o:p></o:p></P>
