Water overuse is causing land upliftment in South Africa, study suggests

A recent study shows that land in South Africa is rising. This rise links to drought and water loss. Earlier, seismic activity was the suspected cause. Researchers now believe reduced water weight causes the land to rebound. Cape Town's drought is a key example. The study highlights unsustainable water usage and inequality.
