Reviewer 1 Report
Authors have shown the review of "Selected worldwide cases of land subsidence due to ground water withdrawal". The review report generated is very sound and effective. A very good number of literature papers have shown. In order to enhance the scope of the manuscript, the following points could be considered.
1.The abstract needs to be reframed and must consider the following points
a) statement of the problem your research addresses
b) What are the research gaps
c) Why is it important to address these questions
d) the significance or implications of your findings
2. Introduction section could be improved by incorporating more literature part. Generally, it may include four paragraphs, a brief overview, literature, the research gap and the objectives of the study. Currently, it is very concisely combined together.
3.Define the objectives as “The major objectives of the study included (a)…; (b)….” In the last paragraph of the Introduction.
4.The table 1 can be more enhanced/elaborated e.g data set used, drawbacks/gaps etc.
5. The Concluding remarks must be reframed by showing future scope of the study
