Nearly half of China's largest cities are sinking

author:Overheating

Well, you know what? Nearly half of China's big cities are sinking quietly! Yes, it's such an amazing phenomenon! Imagine you might live in a low-lying city, and then the surrounding houses, roads, and even the whole city are sinking down little by little, a bit like it's slowly "swallowing up."

First, let's take a look at what this phenomenon is all about. In fact, the sinking of large cities is mainly due to the massive exploitation of groundwater, which causes the groundwater level to drop, and the ground will sink because it loses support. In addition, the subway, underground pipelines and other projects in the process of urban construction will have a certain impact on the geological environment, thus aggravating the situation of urban subsidence.

Imagine that if the city sinks severely, it will not only affect the stability of the house, but also may lead to ground cracks, road collapse and other safety hazards, and even affect the city's drainage system, causing urban waterlogging and other problems. What's even more terrifying is that some historic buildings may even be at risk of collapsing as a result.

In fact, solving the problem of urban subsidence requires the joint efforts of the whole society. Government departments can strengthen the management and protection of groundwater resources, and at the same time pay more attention to geological environment considerations in urban planning and construction. And we ordinary citizens can also start from ourselves, save water, reduce groundwater extraction and other behaviors, and make our own efforts to slow down the subsidence of the city.

In short, nearly half of China's large cities are facing the challenge of sinking, which is an issue that requires our common attention and response. I hope that through everyone's efforts, we can slow down the rate of urban sinking and make our cities safer, more stable, and more sustainable!#爆料##研究: Nearly half of China's largest cities are sinking##记录我的2024#
