Abstract: some relevant data, we discussed the ground subsidence characteristics and development trends, ever since the measures of groundwater exploitation restriction had been carried out in the Wenhuang Plain, Zhejiang Province. The result shows that underground water levels has gone above significantly along with groundwater exploitation significantly reduced, and ground subsidence has turned regional subsidence into local engineering subsidence. It is concluded that engineering subsidence monitoring is important in controlling ground subsidence in the Wenhuang Plain from now on.
