  abstract = {{M}ultiple major coastal cities face the threat of sea level rise with global climate change. {T}his vulnerability can be further exacerbated by local contexts of urbanization and flood management. {L}and subsidence caused by groundwater over-extraction has long been identified as a factor that exposes cities to the threat of submergence through its interaction with the sea's tidal regime or a river basin's precipitation pattern and flood regime. {D}ecision-making in regards to environmental issues such as land subsidence ultimately relies on monitoring data to frame the problem and formulate policies accordingly. {T}hus, in examining how subsidence has been shaped into a scientific reality in the {B}angkok {M}etropolitan {R}egion, this article reviews the limits and uncertainties of subsidence monitoring tools and their associated indicators for risk management (safe yield, piezometric level, and subsidence rate). {O}ur analysis of existing technical reports, supported by interviews conducted with key actors involved in the processes of knowledge production and policy-making, has pointed out how such uncertainties give way to varied interpretations of these indicators, which continue to fuel the debate concerning the establishment of a safe yield for groundwater management. {F}urthermore, our research has also revealed that the monitoring of land subsidence has been receiving less priority due to institutional challenges within concerned governmental agencies. {U}ltimately, we argue that in order to use the resource sustainably, it is crucial to keep monitoring groundwater overdraft in the neighboring provinces of {B}angkok to diligently anticipate long-term flooding risks associated with the changing hydrogeological regime of the delta.},
