Would it be geographically feasible to store water on land to counteract sea level rise?
Using the eTopo1 data Eakins and Sharman has calculated a hypsographic curve for the earth. In the elevation span between + 6 to -6 m they found that land area will change by 396 000 km2 per meter sea level change. In the range -7 to -51 m below current sea level the land area will change by 251 000 km2 per meter sea level. Thus to get an area the size of Zimbabwe (391 000 km2) or Norway (385 000 km2) (data from the World bank) sea level will currently have to be lowered by 1 m. Since the ocean surface is about 360 000 000 km2 (e.g. The Physics factbook) this would mean a total of about 360 000 km3 of water which in turn is comparable to the Caspian Sea (371 000 km3 according to a Wikipedia compilation)

So where does that lead? Clearly adding a Caspian Sea somewhere on land is not an easy task so the question is how much land need to be gained and where? Remember that all coasts are not the same, topographically.

As a side point, the Greenland ice sheet contains enough water to raise sea level by about 7 m. Hence the ongoing warming is a far more problematic issue when it comes to sea level change and counteracting this volume would be 7 times more challenging than the calculation made above. That is a sobering perspective.
