Answer
Ground may subside after groundwater is pumped to the surface due to the compaction of aquifer materials. When water is removed from an aquifer, the pore spaces between the grains or rocks that hold water begin to collapse or compress. As a result, the land above the aquifer sinks or subsides, causing surface deformation. This subsidence can lead to damage to infrastructure, increased risk of flooding, and changes in the landscape.
