Ground Water and Land Subsidence – A Pending Crisis?
Californians are familiar with a photo showing a person standing next to a telephone pole with signs labeled with years, illustrating land subsidence.
The pole has signs reading "1962" at the top, "1970" several feet lower, and further down, "2015", followed by signs for "2019", "2021", and finally "2025" at the bottom.
Each sign represents the ground level for that year, demonstrating how much the ground has sunk due to subsidence caused by excessive water pumping without replenishment.
The iconic photo shows the severe impact of subsidence on the valley.
This visual representation highlights the pressing issue of land subsidence and its connection to groundwater depletion.
