New sinkholes are critically associated with land-use practices, particularly from groundwater pumping and from building infrastructure and development practices. That said, man-made sinkholes are created when constructing roads, aquifers, or other kinds of construction. Modifying land in such ways can temper the underlying rock and make it more vulnerable to sinkholes. Human-induced sinkholes can be found in neighbourhoods or in the middle of busy streets, particularly during heavy rainfall.Human-induced sinkholes can also occur when natural water-drainage systems are altered and new water-diversion systems are formed. Some sinkholes come into existence when the land surface is being altered, such as when commercial and runoff-storage ponds are formed. A considerable weight of the new substance can stimulate an underground collapse of the supporting substance, therefore inducing a sinkhole.In addition, groundwater pumping for irrigation and urban water supply can develop new sinkholes in sinkhole-prone areas. If pumping outcomes in lowering of groundwater levels, then underground structural failure, and hence, sinkholes, are produced.
