In a number of areas the ground remains frozen beneath the surface, which means excess water will run into rivers instead of being absorbed by the soil.
"The areas of the caves investigated are closer to the surface than first thought which means that the land is more unstable than previously thought, " she said.
Phase II, planned for 2011, will identify both aquifers down to 3, 000 meters below the surface, study soil composition and aquifer replenishment, and prioritize areas for agricultural development.
For example, they are equipped with defensive countermeasures against surface to air missiles which makes them suitable for operations in areas where conventional business jets might fear to fly.
And what I mean by that is we believe that the cap will work just fine in the containment, that through a couple of different areas, that cap will take oil to the surface as well as to the choke and kill lines.
Now, in the urban areas, we're discovering that most of the surface owners also own the mineral rights.
Forecasters have also warned of the risk of "localised surface water flooding and possible disruption to travel" in the worst hit areas.
