270 Million People Living on Sinking Land in China Shocking Study! april 23 2024

Hey everyone, did you know that 270 million people in China are living on sinking land? That's right, their cities are literally sinking beneath their feet! This is happening because of excessive groundwater extraction and the weight of the cities themselves. And it's putting them at risk of flooding and rising sea levels. But don't worry, China is taking action to address the problem. They're implementing strict laws to control groundwater pumping and even pumping water from the Yangtze River to northern China to prevent over-pumping. So hopefully, they can get this sinking feeling under control!
