Shanghai Jiao Tong University opened a pool to imitate the environment of the
deep ocean yesterday, which makes China the third country in the world to
recreate such conditions for deep ocean projects.
The pool, measuring 50
meters in length and 10m in depth, can make waves 0.5m high. A 40m well in the
middle of the pool can imitate the environment of oil exploration in 4,000m-deep
waters.
