stick about the size of a telephone pole. >> we grabbed this one from the archives of the united states geological survey. it documents that parts of the valley had already sunk by nearly 30ft between the 1920s and the 1970s. >> that photo is it's something that we use to talk about past events that shows how extreme subsidence can get. >> but now, matthew lees and senior researcher rosemary knight from stanford's door school of sustainability have some predictions for the future. in a newly released study, the stanford team combines satellite data from multiple decades with readings from the ground based gps stations. the result is a kind of three dimensional map pinpointing the areas most affected by the overpumping of groundwater in the central valley, and how quickly they're still sinking. >> and what we've shown in this study is that, well, it's not just something from the past, it's happening now. and what's more, it's faster than it has a faster than it was before, dropping as much as a foot in

many of the years since 2006. >> but with those measurements comes the beginning of a possible solution. when we first met professor knight several years ago, her team was pinging the valley floor with electromagnetic antennas suspended from a helicopter. mapping california's underground aquifers and the soils that run through them. the goal to identify super porous basins and farmland that could be flooded or pumped with diverted water to recharge the sinking aquifers, she says, adding in the new precision mapping data could help do that and more. >> so we are trying to integrate these two data sets. the big picture that we see with our geophysical images of the subsurface, where the sands and gravels, where the clays, and then the satellite based measurement that's giving us very precise measurements of the way in which the ground elevation is changing based on calculations from the california department of water resources, knight's team believes there is enough surplus water in most

years to reverse much of the damage if it's sent to the most critical areas. >> she points to collapsing aqueducts and wells too dry to supply safe drinking water. >> let's be even more strategic, and let's target those areas where the subsidence is causing significant economic or human damage, and perhaps begin to reverse the damage that's literally pulled california down for decades. >> that was dan ashley reporting. reporting. just to underline the scale of this, we're talking about an area roughly half the size of new jersey. in fact, one government report called it, quote, one of the single largest alterations of the land surface attributed to humankind. it's very impressive. all right. we got a lot more ahead. let's check in with lisa. >> okay. zach, good morning to you. beautiful view here. doesn't look like a watercolor from mount tam where temperatures are in the 40s and elsewhere in our protected valleys. we are still below

freezing. there is fog in our east bay as well, also close to the delta. but we are in for a mild afternoon. how about a mild week for to start out december? we'll talk about it in detail coming up. >> looking forward to that. lisa thank you. and also next brock purdy returns in the 40 niners quarterback make a comeback and help push the to the next. did they even send my lab work...? wait, was i supposed to bring that? then there's the forms. the bills. the 'not a bills.' the.... ”press 4 to repeat these options.” [chaotic music] [inspirational music] healthcare can get a whole lot easier when your medical records, care and coverage are in one place. at kaiser permanente, all of us work together for all that is you. san francisco ballet's nutcracker, a cherished tradition set in 1915 san francisco. delight in a fun-filled holiday experience.

shore where temperatures were quite chilly in the 40s to mid 60s. today, upper 60s perhaps, and perhaps in our warmest locations. the accuweather seven day forecast, a few more clouds tonight into tomorrow morning, then partly cloudy for the first day of december. look at the temperatures though mid 60s to upper 60s maybe even 70 with full sunshine on monday and very mild along the coast where above average we are warmer than average as we go through the rest of the workweek with no rain in sight like that. >> lisa. thank you. our parent company, disney, is ushering in the holidays this weekend. the wonderful world of disney holiday spectacular will bring some seasonal magic right to your living room. entertainment reporter george pennacchio, from our sister station in los angeles, has a preview. >> whenever i take the stage, i never know what to expect because it always a surprise and always a great surprise. you can tell everybody this is your song. >> the stars are ringing in the
