Groundwater is a critical yet finite resource. When groundwater is excessively pumped for its many uses (drinking, irrigation, etc.), the surrounding land area can sink, known as land subsidence, causing permanent groundwater storage loss. Prof. Ryan G. Smith and colleagues have developed a new model to map subsidence globally for the first time. They published…Read more
