The Silent Collapse Beneath Our Feet | A University Professor Explains Land Subsidence

Land subsidence is a quiet disaster—sinking cities, cracking roads, tilting buildings, and worsening floods. In this expert interview with a university geotechnical professor (Prof. Ali Fakher), we unpack what drives the ground to sink, how we detect it, where it’s accelerating, and what actually works to stop it.

What you’ll learn?

- What land subsidence is, and how it differs from settlement & sinkholes
- Global hotspots & case studies (Iran, Bangladesh, Netherland)
- Risks for infrastructure, agriculture, and flood resilience
- Proven solutions: demand management, managed aquifer recharge, leak reduction, crop switching, regulation & pricing, zoning/building codes, early-warning systems
- Outlook to 2050
