Consecutive DInSAR and well based on the law of material conservation between land surface pressure and ground water to observe land subsidence
Abstract
The concern about the recurrence of land subsidence has arisen in Japan with urban development and new groundwater use. Land subsidence observation well has been utilized for monitoring the subsidence, but due to the recent aging of facilities and equipment, remote sensing technology is attracting attention. This paper seeks to assess the substitutability of Consecutive DInSAR with the land subsidence observation well. To investigate the subsidence in Kanagawa prefecture, Sentinel 1 images from August 2017 to March 2022 were analyzed by SARPROZ software based on Consecutive DInSAR, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and land subsidence observation well methods. Moreover, we assessed the new calculation model between land surface pressure and ground water called the law of material conservation to estimate land subsidence. The results revealed that the Consecutive DInSAR results agreed with the land subsidence observation well data, indicating the possibility of future substitution.
