According to the preliminary report obtained from the sources, the authorities have a first conclusion regarding the surprise that occurred in Slănic Prahova.
“The collapse is probably the effect of water flowing through the subsoil beneath the asphalt layer and washing away the aggregate that supports it.
Water can come from different sources
* Water from precipitation, shallow aquifers or runoff
on the slopes.
* Water flowing in the valleys formed by the movement of water on the roof of the salt massif.
* Water from various anthropogenic sources, such as damage to city pipes
water or sewage.

*The surge is not due to seismic activity, no microseisms were recorded
due to natural activities.
*the current surge does not seem to be caused by deep phenomena related to the presence of the salt massif, however, it is recommended to follow the evolution of these processes over time by performing periodic electrical resistivity measurements on the same site and extending the investigations to a larger area “, the report states.
