Some of the Authority's most important accomplishments happened long before construction began.
How groundwater depletion, subsidence, and flooding are connected, and why long-term sustainability required a different approach.
Subsidence isn't just a concept—it's something engineers can measure.
Subsidence doesn't just affect the ground beneath our feet—it can make flooding worse.
