For some reason it bothers me a lot that this doesn't acknowledge that this graphic is a remake of two sets of very important USGS historical photos documenting & visualizing land subsidence from groundwater withdrawals in CA's Central Valley.
Yes, the USGS work is public domain, but still.
@propublica.orgYou may not feel it, but the ground beneath you may be sinking.
In fact, the surface of California’s Central Valley is nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago.
Why is this happening? Because our planet is rapidly drying. THREAD/
