Global groundwater depletion leads to sea level rise

Large-scale extraction of groundwater for irrigation of crops leads to a sea level rise of 0.8 mm per year, which is about one fourth of the current rate of sea level rise of 3.1 mm per year. This conclusion follows from a study by hydrologists from Utrecht University and the research institute Deltares. A paper about this study is currently in press with Geophysical Research Letters.

Almost half of the NOAA reported sea level rise is due to groundwater mining.

absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year.
