Not all open-pits pose a direct problem, however. If we use signs warding off unscrupulous gold hunters or wary fossickers, some of these much larger man-made mines can act as a water reservoir which we will need as the climate changes. From a speculative viewpoint, there are both good and bad arguments concerning these abandoned mines. If on the other hand, they pose an immediate threat to urban development, then the mining companies who created them, should be forced to restore the landscape back to a natural setting.
