Did some quick reading...
so what you are saying is that the well drilled in 1976 started the eruptions from then on, including the eruption that is still going today? Not being a volcano expert I will still guess that drilling a hole in the ground would not cause eruptions in other areas.
The general feeling I have seen around Puna is that if the lava stops flowing, that is when people around here start worrying, not the other way around.
Thanks for the reason to read up in it some, some fascinating technology for an old water well driller to read about.
