Land Subsidence due to Groundwater Withdrawal
Land subsidence is a major environmental problem in many parts of the world, including the United States. While land subsidence can be caused by various natural processes, such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, it is often exacerbated by human activities, such as groundwater withdrawal. Groundwater withdrawal occurs when water is pumped from aquifers below the ground surface for various purposes, such as drinking water, irrigation, and industrial use.

Chapter 12: Land Subsidence Due to Groundwater Withdrawal
Land subsidence is a major environmental problem in many parts of the world. Subsidence can be caused by a variety of factors, including groundwater withdrawal. Groundwater withdrawal occurs when water is pumped from an aquifer faster than it can be replenished by natural processes. This can lead to a decline in the water table and a decrease in the pressure on the aquifer. The aquifer can then compact, causing the land above it to subside.

Groundwater Depletion and Land Subsidence
Groundwater depletion can lead to land subsidence, which is the sinking of the Earth's surface. Land subsidence can damage buildings, roads, and other infrastructure. It can also lead to the loss of wetlands and other ecosystems.

Groundwater and Land Subsidence | ScienceDirect
Groundwater withdrawal is a major cause of land subsidence. Land subsidence is the gradual settling or sinking of the Earth's surface due to the removal of groundwater from an aquifer. Groundwater withdrawal can occur naturally, such as during a drought, or it can be caused by human activities, such as pumping groundwater for irrigation or drinking water.

Land Subsidence from Groundwater Withdrawal - GRACE
Land subsidence from groundwater withdrawal is a major problem in many parts of the world, including the United States. Land subsidence can damage infrastructure, reduce property values, and even lead to flooding. The GRACE mission provides data that can be used to measure land subsidence and to help manage groundwater resources.

Groundwater depletion and land subsidence
Groundwater depletion and land subsidence are two interconnected problems that can have devastating consequences for both human and natural systems. Groundwater depletion occurs when the rate of groundwater withdrawal exceeds the rate of recharge, leading to a decline in the water table. Land subsidence occurs when the weight of the overlying soil and rock compresses the underlying aquifer, causing the land surface to sink.
