The National Institute for Research and Development for Earth Physics has installed three seismic stations around the perimeter affected by water at Salina Praid, to help evaluate the risks and to follow the evolution of underground phenomena, notes Agerpres.
According to a post on the Facebook page of INCDFP, these seismic stations will allow the registration of vibrations caused by possible collapses or internal movements of the salt and soil mass, offering an image in time about what is happening underground.
“Seismic monitoring plays an essential role in identifying unstable areas and supporting public safety decisions,” the post shows.

In parallel, a detailed mapping of the affected area was made, with the help of tall -precision drones and photogrametric sensors, to generate an updated and orthophotoplan model. The flights covered an area of about 1.5 – 2 square kilometers, at altitudes between 20 and 60 meters depending on the local relief. “The purpose is to observe the surface changes in real time, thus contributing to a scientific -based intervention. This multidisciplinary approach offers a solid scientific basis for understanding the active processes and supports the necessary measures to protect the community and infrastructure in the area,” notes INDFP.
