Abstract
While Earth’s population keeps on growing, more and more resources are consumed. After the easily accessible ones at the surface had been depleted, more complex exploitation methods were applied to reach deeper into the ground. Exploitation work focussed on
-
solid resources, such as building stones, coal, or ore
-
liquid resources, first of all water, later oil
-
gaseous resources, as being mainly natural gas
