Afterwards during the season of subsidence, the water would subside, or recede, revealing a new layer of fertile black silt and allowing for the planting of various crops.
在随后的沉降季节,水会退去,并露出一层新的肥沃的黑色淤泥,可以在这上面种植各种作物。
Land subsidence has been aggravated by overpumping of underground water and the construction of thousands of high-rise buildings.
