Earthquakes and Groundwater Withdrawal: A Hidden Interaction

The book explores the often-overlooked relationship between seismic activity and the extraction of groundwater. It examines how excessive groundwater withdrawal can lead to land subsidence, fault destabilization, and, in some cases, trigger or amplify seismic events. Through interdisciplinary case studies and scientific evidence, the book highlights the need for integrated water management and seismic risk assessment. It is intended for geoscientists, environmental engineers, policymakers, and students interested in earth sciences, hydrology, and natural disaster mitigation.
