Are New York and Chicago in danger of disappearing? The shocking truth! 😱 Read the answer in Nature Cities magazine.
Invisible catastrophe.
28 major US cities, including New York, Chicago, Dallas and Denver, are gradually subsiding at a rate of 2 to 10 millimeters per year.
In 25 cities, more than 65% of the territory is subsiding, which can have serious consequences for infrastructure.
The highest rates of subsidence are observed in Texas, especially in Houston, where a significant part of the city is sinking at a rate of more than 5-10 mm per year.

The main cause of subsidence is the withdrawal of groundwater for the needs of the population, and not just natural geological processes.
This threatens not only coastal cities - subsidence can increase the risk of flooding even for cities located far from the ocean.
Uneven subsidence can cause buildings, roads and railways to collapse. The damage may only become apparent when it becomes severe or catastrophic.

⚠️ The researchers suggest that better monitoring of subsidence, effective groundwater management policies and consideration of these factors in infrastructure planning should be implemented.
The study was published in the journal Nature Cities. This is a serious problem that could affect the lives of millions of people!
