Cities are slowly disappearing under water and streets turning into rivers. People wading through floodwaters is not far in the future anymore. Across the globe, low-lying cities face a mix of rising seas and sinking land. Groundwater pumping, warming oceans, and unstable land make it worse. Experts say some of these places could be underwater by 2100 according to the World Economic Forum report. Buildings, homes, and entire communities are at risk. People notice creeping water in streets, flooded markets, and damaged roads. It feels distant for some. But the warning signs are already here.
