Short summary

Paper discuses numerical modeling of earth fissure caused by land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal. The numerical models predict future subsidence and earth fissure potential for flood control structures in the metro Phoenix area. A finite element model was developed to estimate vertical subsidence and horizontal strain on the ground surface due to the pumping of ground water.
