Rise in the sea level due to the changing climatic conditions is a concern many of the countries are facing in the current times. Small islands and coastal areas are at a threat of being gobbled up by the sea water soon. Tide gauges which were previously used to predict the level of sea water rise is now taken over by high quality satellite measurements and from these measurements it can be observed that, the ocean water which was increasing 2mm every year till the year 2000, is now increasing by 4mm. A total of 75mm rise in sea level was predicted from 1991 to 2019.
