Land subsidence is related to a rise in human population because the increased demand for water due to a growing population can lead to over-extraction of groundwater from aquifers. This excessive pumping can cause the water table to lower, resulting in land subsidence. Additionally, as more people settle in an area, more infrastructure such as buildings and roads are built, which can also contribute to land subsidence. Sound agricultural practices can help mitigate the effects of land subsidence, but ultimately, the issue is closely tied to the increased water demands of a growing human population.
