According to a new research by the scientists of Rhode Island, United States, published in the peer-reviewed Geophysical Research Letters journal in March, the city of Mumbai is sinking by an average of 2 mm annually. The observation has been made after measuring the subsidence rate in Mumbai between 2015 and 2020.
Land Subsidence
According to the scientist the main reason for the sinking is due to a geological phenomenon known as land subsidence.
Land subsidence means the downward, vertical movement of the earth’s surface . It happens due to indiscriminate groundwater extraction, mining, reclamation of natural wetlands, infrastructure projects and ecological disturbances.
The sinking coastal cities of the world
The study titled “Subsidence in Coastal Cities Throughout the World" analyzed land subsidence in 99 countries globally.
According to the study, Tianjin in China to be the fastest sinking coastal city in the world at a rate of 5.2cm per year.
Other prominent coastal sinking cities are Semarang (3.96cm per year) and Jakarta (3.44cm per year) in Indonesia, Shanghai (2.94cm per year) in China, and Ho Chi Minh (2.81mm per year) and Hanoi (2.44cm per year) in Vietnam.
Problem of Mumbai
Mumbai which is India’s financial capital is facing the double threat of global warming and indiscriminate urban growth .
Recent studies indicate that due to global warming the Arabian Sea is rising by 0.5 to 3mm per year, suggesting that some parts of Mumbai may be sinking faster than sea levels are rising.
Researchers have found that poor urban planning has led to the combined effect of declining groundwater and high-rise buildings.
It has made Mumbai vulnerable to subsidence, leading to increased inundation during heavy rainfall.
Also , the areas prone to subsidence have witnessed the worst impacts of flooding and property damage. This is likely to increase in the coming years.
