Short summary
In this work we present a brief description of land subsidence in coastal cities, such as Nantong, Yancheng, and Lian Yungang, in Jiangsu Province. We examine the mechanisms of land subsidence induced mainly by groundwater pumping and its evolution and economic implications as well as the implemented measures by the local government to prevent new damage.
