Multi-sensor observations for monitoring groundwater depletion and land subsidence
Study region: The Kabudarahang Plain and the Razan-Qahavand Plain. Study focus: Improper use of water resources has reduced groundwater levels and created land subsidence (LS) in many plains of Iran. The aim and innovation of this research are to study multi-sensor observations for LS and groundwater depletion and explore the relationships of the involved variables with high confidence. The gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) observations can be used to evaluate water storage changes at the Earth’s surface. GRACE has stripe errors, leakage and various noises that multilevel 3D wavelet decomposition (M3WD) has been suggested to mitigate noises and downscale for small scale. This study has investigated the interferometric synthetic-aperture radar (InSAR) of Sentinel-1 images from October 2014 to September 2019, the GRACE data from March 2002 to July 2016, and groundwater hydrograph (GH) from 2014 to 2020. New hydrological insight for the region: The maximum LS rate, obtained from small baseline subset-differential of InSAR is 20 mm/year at the Kabudarahang Plain (KP) and 30 mm/year at Razan-Qahavand Plain (RQP). The groundwater storage variations (ΔGW) have a decreasing trend of 78.45 ± 0.2 million cubic meters/year. The GH for the KP and RQP shows a downward trend of 3.25 and 1.81 m/year, respectively. Based on the outcomes, the M3WD can increase the correlation of ΔGW with other sensors by 15 %. Also, validation between sensors with normalized cross-correlation has remarkable compatibility. The multi-sensor study of ΔGW and LS revealed various dimensions with high reliability and can facilitate the water resource management.
