Subsidence in Sedimentary Basins Due to Groundwater Withdrawal for Geothermal Energy Development (OFR-601) Hiking Geology Series Two known low-temperature geothermal areasBy: Mike Lowe Contains a 9 page report describing the potential causes of subsidence in sedimentary basins and providing recommendations for avoiding or minimizing subsidence. Land subsidence can be caused by a variety of processes, but most land subsidence in the United States is associated with aquifer compaction caused pressure decline associated with groundwater withdrawal. In basin fill aquifers, most of the aquifer compaction is due to the slow
