Is it true that groundwater depletion causes land subsidence?
Yes. Reference works state directly that groundwater depletion or extraction causes land subsidence, and several regional peer-reviewed studies (Iran, Bali, Madagascar, Spain, Isfahan) report subsidence associated with groundwater depletion in their study areas.
