The secrets of Lake Kivu
10/26/12

Gas extraction would be a child's game if it weren’t for the ecological measures that have to be taken into account. The real problem occurs when the waste water is reinjected into the lake. In order to return the water to the depth from which it was taken, it has to be pushed back, an energy-consuming process that is likely to put off industrialists. The easiest and most profitable solution would obviously be to release the degassed waters at surface level, but this may be a disastrous risk for the lake's entire ecosystem.
