Abstract:

Land subsidence is one of the environmental hazards that has been less well-regarded by human societies due to lower human casualties. However, the earth subsidence causes irreparable damage to the urban areas and adjacent plains over time. In this study, Permanent Scatterer (PS) method has been used to monitor land subsidence in the region in hamadan proviance and its adjacent plains in west of Hamadan province using 89 Sentinel-1A satellite images in ascending pass and 85 descending pass images. Based on the results of our study, the Badkhora and Jannatabad villages in the region in hamadan proviance compared to the other regions have the maximum of average subsidence rate of PSs, with subsidence rate of 200-220 mm/year. Furthermore, according to the results, it can be conducted that the rate of subsidence from urban areas towards the plains have been raised. In addition, in urban areas the model has chosen more PSs with higher mean temporal coherence than mixed areas including plain and urban. In order to find the cause of subsidence, the information of piezometric wells in the study area and its temporal changes were investigated. In this regard, one of the main causes of land subsidence in the region in hamadan proviance and adjoining plains due to the increasing depth of piezometric wells in the study period can be attributed to the high pumping of groundwater resources.

Predicting land subsidence rate due to groundwater exploitation in the district 19 of Tehran using MODFLOW and InSAR

During recent years, groundwater exploitation and thereby decreasing hydraulic head in the compressible sedimentary aquifer which is placed in the district 19 of Tehran have been caused noticeable land subsidence. The land subsidence has been damaging the infrastructures which have been being built in the south of Tehran Basin, especially in the district 19 of Tehran. A finite-difference ground...

Ps-insar Measurement of Land Subsidence in Bangkok Metropolitan Area

It is well known that the metropolitan area of Bangkok, Thailand, has been subsiding during the past decades. This ground deformation has been monitored using leveling networks on annual basis since 1978. However, the employed technique is costly, time-consuming, and able to monitor only on a limited number of benchmarks. InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar), which can provide sub-c...
