Fifty years ago subsidence was recognized as a problem in the Galveston Bay area. Groundwater extraction, especially by industries along the Houston Ship Channel had created massive subsidence. The Harris County Subsidence District was formed, and has been slowly converting industries and cities in Harris County from groundwater to surface water from the Trinity and San Jacinto Rivers. It has been expensive, but successful. The higher cost of water also had the beneficial effect of reducing consumption. at least to some extent. Groundwater was cheap, surface water not so cheap, it has an effect.

I do know that Louisiana has always had this issue and they called engineers from the Netherlands for help with their problems. Another reason for this are these are large coastal cities with a lot of weight on land plus erosion. I live about 90 min from the Gulf Coast in a small town. No one wants to live on or too near the coast because of the cost and all the many issues that go with a coastal home, we have seen it for many decades.

Another part of the issue i don't see discussed anymore is the fact the we levied up the Mississippi river, so it not longer pulls in large amounts of sediments during flood phases, which in turn means less sediment is deposited through the Mississippi delta. this is a huge factor for coastal erosion in the southeastern Louisiana region, mainly areas like Plaquemines, St. Bernard, Lafourche, and Terrebonne parishes. Combine this with Hurricanes over the years washing a lot of the coast away with flood waters.

If sea levels rise THAT MUCH, then waterways would become to a higher sea level, which would in theory, increase the depth of the Great Lakes as well, or am I wrong? Simple hydraulics.

The only way to possibly combat this rise in sea level is to find a way to deal with the salination by product. We are spending so much money for space travel when we could be using that money to learn ways of handling the by product. Once that was done, then we could ship water to wherever we wanted, all countries could do it. That would certainly help with the rise in our sea levels.

If you stop putting property on the coast as it is destroyed the problem takes care of itself . When something is not economically viable due to risks , then the problems take care of themselves .

The water table is rising. Is that the same as the land sinking? Or is the land sinking because the water table is rising? People don’t understand how this is happening and this video isn’t helping because it does not really explain what’s happening. I live on Delmarva and over the last 10 years the water table rose a foot. My neighbors are now experiencing flooding where they didn’t before after a storm. Trees are being removed and no longer sucking up the ground water. The problem is multifaceted.

Just depends on what topic that is being discussed, which are sea level rising and land subsidence but both create the same problems for coastal communities. In this video, land subsidence is being discussed. Main causes are because of drying out aquifers and a lot of focalized mass in an area. Such examples are being seen in Mexico City and NYC. Also, the water table is the same but since the soil is being compacted more, it may seem as if the water table is rising. I also think your take in cutting down trees is also influencing flooding for your neighbors but I am not sure if you live in a big city but also can be because of all the asphalt and concrete that doesn’t let water to drain into the soil as easily.

"The bad news is we're sinking; the good news is we have time to do something about it". Yeah, right. How did that work out for climate change? We aren't good at being proactive. Get ready to be reactive.

We have too much underground land. Instead of reconstruction we just built on top of, so much more weight on our crust also over populated. Another war might just be fate for the prolonging of earth/human species
