Summary, etc. | Land subsidence caused by excessive extraction of ground water is a serious problem in East Asia. This article looks at the overuse of ground water in East Asian countries then at the specific problem facing northern areas of Manila. Mean water levels in Manila harbour have risen more than half a metre since 1980 mostly due to land subsidence rather than rising sea levels. The risk of flooding is increased and will be more severe when it occurs. Some suggestions for alleviating the problem are identified, but it is noted that there is only a limited chance of them being implemented. |
