Here's a nice animation tracking this (covers up to 2022, not sure about 2025): https://grace.jpl.nasa.gov/resources/42/grace-and-grace-fo-t... The southern end of the central valley (San Joaquin region, whole central valley is outlined in red) is particularly hard-hit by groundwater depletion. Some of that storage does not come back, because the ground compacts after the groundwater is withdrawn. | ||
