subsidence o land subsidence
Explanation:
Más frecuentemente land subsidence. Creo que estos textos de referencia te pueden servir para ubicar el contexto:

"Land subsidence resulting from ground-water-level declines has long been recognized as a problem in Antelope Valley, California. At Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), ground-water extractions have caused more than 150 feet of water-level decline, resulting in nearly 4 feet of subsidence. Differential land subsidence has caused sinklike depressions and earth fissures and has accelerated erosion of the playa lakebed surface of Rogers Lake at EAFB, adversely affecting the runways on the lakebed which are used for landing aircraft such as the space shuttles."

(http://ca.water.usgs.gov/rep/wrir004015/)

"The 1980 Act allows the director of the
ADWR to form an Active Management Area if any of the following conditions exists: 1) active
management practices are necessary to preserve the existing supply of groundwater for future
needs, 2) land subsidence or fissuring is endangering property or potential groundwater storage
capacity, or 3) use of groundwater is resulting in actual or threatened water quality degradation.
No known land subsidence problems exist in the Upper San Pedro Basin (Strange, 1984), and no
known water quality problems of regional significance have resulted from the use of
groundwater."
