How much subsidence would you expect from an elastic confined aquifer that has a specific storage of 2.6 x 10-5 m-1 , a decline in pressure of 225 kPa, an aquifer thickness of 180 m, and a porosity of 24 percent? Assume the aquifer temperature is 20 °C. Just looking for a push in the right direction. Thanks
