Can land subsidence be reversed? What progress has been achieved to date in reducing the areas land subsidence?
Subsidence is irreversible. According to the Houston-Galveston Subsidence District (HGSD), in critical areas along Galveston Bay, the land surface has sunk as much as ten feet since 1906! With each hurricane the area weathers, subsidence and flooding problems worsen. A dramatic example of this was in the Brownwood subdivision, a coastal community of Baytown where almost continual flooding due to subsidence caused the area to eventually be abandoned.
