During recent years, attention has been devoted to land subsidence—the loss of land elevation that occurs in areas with certain geological characteristics associated with aquifer exploitation. Despite the large socioeconomic impacts of land subsidence most of these effects are still not well analyzed and not properly recognized and quantified globally. In this paper we developed a land subsidence impact extent (LSIE) index that is based on 10 land subsidence attributes, and applied it to 113 sites located around the world with reported land subsidence effects. We used statistical means to map physical, human, and policy variables to the regions affected by land subsidence and quantified their impact on the index. Our main findings suggest that LSIE increases between 0.1 and 6.5% by changes in natural processes, regulatory policy interventions, and groundwater usage, while holding all other variables unchanged. Effectiveness of regulatory policy interventions varies depending on the lithology of the aquifer system, in particular its stiffness. Our findings suggest also that developing countries are more prone to land subsidence due to lower performance of their existing water governance and institutions. 000108560 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/INIA/RTA2017-00082-00-00 000108560 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000108560 590__ $$a10.754$$b2021 000108560 592__ $$a1.806$$b2021 000108560 594__ $$a14.1$$b2021 000108560 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES$$b26 / 279 = 0.093$$c2021$$dQ1$$eT1 000108560 593__ $$aEnvironmental Chemistry$$c2021$$dQ1 000108560 593__ $$aWaste Management and Disposal$$c2021$$dQ1 000108560 593__ $$aEnvironmental Engineering$$c2021$$dQ1 000108560 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersion 000108560 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-4485-3158$$aEsteban, Encarna$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000108560 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-7793-7892$$aCalvo, Elena$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000108560 700__ $$aHerrera, Gerardo 000108560 700__ $$aTeatini, Pietro 000108560 700__ $$aTomás, Roberto 000108560 700__ $$aLi, Yang 000108560 700__ $$aEzquerro, Pablo 000108560 700__ $$aAlbiac, Jose 000108560 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
