This will lead to the compaction of the aquifer. In addition, the land will start to evince subsidence: that is, it will begin to cave in or fall away. This is because the land above the aquifer has nothing underneath to support it, now that the water that was previously in the aquifer has been brought to the surface.

Overpumping of groundwater will result in __ of an aquifer, which will lead to land _.
