Short summary
Land subsidence due to long-term pumping in Las Vegas Valley has been a problem for more than 40 years. A new groundwater flow and deformation model was built to accompany new radar and water-level data. Results show that although rising water levels have resulted in uplift in some areas, the Northwest region will continue to subside for the foreseeable future in spite of these mitigation measures.
