Title: A DISCUSSION ON THE CAUSES OF THE GROUND SUBSIDENCE AND ITS COUNTERMEASURES IN DEZHOU CITY
Abstract: Through a comprehensive analysis of the current conditions of the ground-subsidence and its causes in Dezhou City,the paper comes to a conclusion that the main cause is the over drawing of deep-ground water,which lowed the hydropressure of the deep aquifer,induced the compaction of the neighbour clayey strata,and caused the ground subsidence in the surface.Other causes such as tectonic movement,geo-engineering factors are playing a minor role.The countermeasures to fight back the problem are made by the authority of Dezhou municipality,such as shut down the deep-tapped wells,groundwater re-injection and control of the exploitation of the deep groundwater.
