“…The need of space for development has been forcing governments to allocate areas to meet fundamental needs such as housing, industry and agriculture, but at the same time, also trying to minimize the impact of land subsidence. Similar governmental reactions can be found in Hu et al [52]. The third aspect influencing governmental response to the land subsidence problem concerns their knowledge.…”

“…As indicated by ovals (i.e., A, B, C, and D) in Figure 7, four remarkable subsidence troughs appear in the suburban areas, whose maximum subsidence rates reach up to 75, 68, 52, and 110 mm/year, corresponding to Shuangjie, Qingguang, Shanghetou, and Jingwu towns, respectively. This confirms that the subsidence rates in the downtown areas have been slowed down due to the reduction of groundwater extraction that has been executed in Tianjin as a municipal management action in recent years [15][16][17][18]. However, remarkable land subsidence has taken place in the suburban areas due to increasing extraction of groundwater primarily for agricultural production [19].…”

“…As shown in Figure 5, the study area of 450 km 2 belongs to the alluvial plain of the Haihe River and has very flat relief with a relative elevation difference of 2-3 m [9]. As one of the biggest cities in China, Tianjin suffers water shortage due to its natural geographic condition and semi-arid climate [15]. To meet its industrial and agricultural needs, a large amount of groundwater has been exploited in Tianjin since the 1920s, thus resulting in severe land subsidence in many areas [16].…”

“…Serious land subsidence problems due to excessive groundwater withdrawal have emerged in more than 150 cities all over the word (Hu et al, 2004;Tomás et al, 2010). Groundwater is the main supply source of public water in Beijing.…”
