Groundwater Problems in Urban Areas
W B Wilkinson, W. B. Wilkinson
Changing groundwater levels are causing problems in many cities and urban areas throughout the world.
Over-abstraction of water for prolonged periods has caused levels to fall with ensuing foundation settlement and structural damage caused by consolidation of the underlying strata, in addition to frequent deterioration of water quality. Conversely, the decline of industry in many cities and/or the provision of better piped supplies has led to greatly reduced water abstraction.
