Selected Worldwide Cases of Land Subsidence Due to Groundwater Withdrawal

The present review paper focuses on selected cases around the world of land subsidence phenomena caused by overexploitation aquifers. Land is closely related to human activity. In particular, development technology has led an exponential increase in industrial and agricultural production, as well extensive urbanization, mainly large cities. action those parameters, along with effects climate change, further increases water demands, which have been served Overexploitation, conjunction broader geo-tectonic conditions, can trigger severe phenomena, resulting significant damage affecting physical man-made environment. scope study provide a critical existing literature due aquifer highlight main causal factors driving this process. methods developed past their outcomes hold importance sustainable strategic planning.
