Analysis and prediction of land subsidence caused by groundwater exploitation in Ha Noi city, Viet Nam
The article presents the research results of progressing surface subsidence caused by consolidation of compressible aquiferous deposits as a result of increasing groundwater pumping in Hanoi (Vietnam). The investigations included modeling of settlement development depending on time. The calculated settlements satisfactorily correlate with the data of field observations. The authors point out seriousness of the problem and necessity of continuing those investigations in the territory of Hanoi.
