Groundwater Pumping in India Could Affect the Earth’s Spin and Climate, Finds Study

Groundwater pumping has caused the Earth to tilt nearly 80cm east, impacting the climate. Western North America and Northwestern India were most affected, says a new study. Humans pumped 2,150 gigatons of groundwater from 1993-2010, equivalent to over 6mm sea level rise, and until now, the specific contribution of groundwater to rotational changes was unexplored. Efforts to slow groundwater depletion rates could technically prevent changes in drift.
