A sharp drop in the groundwater level is a disaster for humanity
Thread Content
In recent years, the groundwater levels in various regions have been continuously dropping; existing wells have become unusable, sinkholes keep appearing, and wells need to be dug deeper and deeper. If this trend continues, humanity will face disaster – not a natural disaster, but one caused by human actions. It is nature’s revenge on humanity.

Economic development has led to a growing demand for water, while groundwater supplies are increasing at a slow pace, especially the groundwater beneath aquifers. Meanwhile, the continuous expansion of cities has also increased water demands, and rivers are becoming increasingly polluted, which reduces the amount of water that can be obtained from them. This puts greater pressure on groundwater resources, resulting in a continuous decline in groundwater levels. It also leads to the formation of large underground cavities, known as underground funnels. Under the influence of El Niño, heavy rains can cause these underground cavities to collapse, leading to ground subsidence and a series of geological events It affects people's safety and property.
Groundwater levels are dropping severely, and surface groundwater is heavily polluted
Reply 1# CSJZ: Shut down these energy-intensive, wasteful enterprises
Reply to 5# lzw299: Housing prices keep rising despite attempts to suppress them, and steel production keeps increasing as well. Local GDP relies on those energy-intensive and polluting enterprises, land sales, and the real estate sector. Govern them. Difficult!
