For those unfamiliar, why is this an issue?

A lot of regions in the city rely on gravity to move water out of them. Floods have both increased in quantity and magnitude in recent years. If the city keeps sinking, more water will move in instead of out. Some areas of the city might become perma-flooded in a decade or two.

This is a very serious situation with no obvious solution to it.
