This is a fantastic picture, showing how over-pumping of California's central valley aquifer to support businesses that are exporting water in the form of agricultural products to all over the world has caused subsidence as the water table is depleted. It's worth looking at the whole thing to see the 1925 to 1977 progression. And it's further now.
Something to ponder while you hear all of the cries of pain over the re-filling of the Tulare Lake Basin as the snow melts this year... https://www.usgs.gov/media/ima...bsidence-us-levels-1925-and-1977
