Illustration of an adult human standing in the country next to a 30-foot tall pole. a sign reads "San Joaquin Valley, California subsidence 1925-2025" At the bottom of the pole is a 2025 marker, indicating the current surface level. As the pole goes up there are markers for the surface levels in 2000, 1975, 1950 and at the very top 1925.
As you pump all the fresh water out of underground aquifers, the ground above it can sink. It's happening all around the world.
Take the surface of California’s Central Valley, which is now nearly 30 vertical feet lower than it was a century ago.

A square infographic with a dark stormy ocean background. The white header text reads: “Your $21 funds these essential services.” Below are six dark blue boxes, each with a white icon and label: 1. Coastal Mapping – Detailed charts of shorelines, navigation hazards, and more 2. Weather Monitoring – Vital data for tracking storms, extreme heat, and drought 3. Marine Resource Management – Conservation of ocean life and sustainable fisheries 4. Coastal Resilience – Infrastructure that withstands storms and rising seas 5. Storm Research – Studies of severe weather patterns and impacts The graphic uses clean lines, oceanic tones, and emphasizes the small taxpayer cost for these vital environmental services.
Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊
The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
