Sea level rise, seawater intrusion, and land subsidence have mutual influence and reciprocal causation. Although the natural factors cannot be ignored, the damage caused by human activities on the natural environment has been far beyond that caused by natural forces. This chapter mainly analyzes the historical process, current situation, and damage of sea level rise, seawater intrusion, and land subsidence in the Chinese great river delta (Yellow River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Pearl River Delta), and forecasts their future trends and proposes the countermeasures.
