The Lost City of New Orleans?
This 2000 article discusses how pumping water out of New Orleans is causing it to sink, and that it is "sinking faster than many realize and could be under water within 50 years." Topics addressed include the system of levees, drainage canals, the decline of marshland near the city, and related insurance matters. From Risk & Insurance Magazine.
