Popis: This paper deals with the land subsidence due to groundwater overexploitation in Anargyri village (Florina prefecture, West Macedonia). The decline of groundwater table is necessary for lignite exploitation by the Public Power Corporation (PPC). The lignite deposits are occurred in Neogene sediments, consisting of alternations of clayey and marly layers. In these deposits are developed successive confined aquifers. The overexploitation of these aquifers had led in a decline of groundwater table, ranging between 30-40 m during the last years. Land subsidence phenomena resulted in ruptures on surface and buildings, rendering most of the houses uninhabitable. The ruptures on surface were examined in relation to geological and hydrogeological conditions and conclusions are drawn.
