“…Hoffman et al, 2001;Zhang et al, 2014;Ezquerro et al, 2014;Miller et al, 2015;Boni et al, 2016). Other authors use the skeletal storage (Sk) coefficient in groundwater flow models (Subsidence and Aquifer-System Compaction, SUB, and Subsidence and Aquifer-System Compaction for Water- Table Aquifers, SWT, MODFLOW Packages) to calculate aquifer-system deformation (Hoffmann et al, 2003;Harbaugh, 2005;Leake et al, 2007;Densmore et al 2018). In these works, Sk is derived from geotechnical tests whereas deformation measurements (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar, GNSS, leveling and extensometers) are used to validate the estimated deformation with the model.…”

Aquifer-systems have become a strategic source of fresh water in the present climatic conditions, especially under stress in arid regions like the Iberian Mediterranean Arc. Understanding the behavior of groundwater reservoirs is crucial to their well-management and mitigation of adverse consequences of overexploitation. In this work, we use space geodetic measurements from satellite interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) and Global Positioning System (GPS) data, covering the period 2011-2017, to predict and validate the ground surface displacement over the fastest subsiding basin due to groundwater withdrawal in Europe (>10 cm/year). The 2D decomposition of InSAR displacements from Cosmo-SkyMed and Sentinel-1 satellites allows us to detect horizontal deformation towards the basin center, with a maximum displacement of 1.5 cm/year. InSAR results were introduced in a newly developed methodology for aquifer system management to estimate unknown pumping rates for the 2012-2017 period. This study illustrates how the combination of InSAR data, groundwater flow and deformation models can be used to improve the aquifer-systems sustainable management.

“…Physics-based hydrologic modeling has long been used to simulate historical water use and availability, make relative predictions about future water resources, and test different water management strategies under historical and future conditions (Woolfenden and Nishikawa 2014;Faunt et al 2015Faunt et al , 2016Densmore et al 2018;Kitlasten et al 2021;Cromwell and Alzraiee 2022;Stamos-Pfeiffer et al 2022;Morway et al 2023). MODFLOW 6 is a physically based multi-model hydrologic simulator that is commonly used to assess hydrologic systems (Hughes et al 2017).…”

An agricultural water use package has been developed for MODFLOW 6 using the MODFLOW Application Programming Interface (API). The MODFLOW API Agricultural Water Use Package (API‐Ag) was based on the approach to simulate irrigation demand in the MODFLOW‐NWT and GSFLOW Agricultural Water Use (AG) Package. The API‐Ag Package differs from the previous approach by implementing new features and support for additional irrigation providers. New features include representation of deficit and over‐irrigation, Multi‐Aquifer Well and Lake Package irrigation providers, and support for structured, vertex, and unstructured grid models. Three example problems are presented that demonstrate how the API‐Ag Package improves representation of highly managed systems and are further used to validate the irrigation demand and delivery formulations. Irrigation volumes simulated in the three example problems show excellent agreement with the MODFLOW‐NWT AG Package.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

“…Esta estrategia fue utilizada en 13 de los trabajos revisados (Hoffmann et al, 2001;Zhang et al, 2014;Ezquerro et al, 2014;Miller et al, 2015;Bonì et al, 2016). Llevando más allá esta línea, el Sk ha sido utilizado por varios autores para combinarlo con modelos de flujo hidrogeológico y calcular deformaciones asociadas (Hoffmann et al, 2003;Leake et al, 2007;Densmore et al, 2018). En estos trabajos el Sk se calcula a través de ensayos geotécnicos dejándose las medidas directas de la subsidencia (InSAR, GNSS, nivelación y extensómetros) como elemento de validación.…”

This thesis proposes a methodology to analyze subsidence due to groundwater extraction, improving the current knowledge and the characterization of aquifersystems, also allowing to evaluate the impact of subsidence over urban structures and infrastructures. This thesis is divided in three parts: (i) description of the methodology; (ii) results obtained in four study areas; (iii) and conclusions.The methodology consists of four sections: (i) an integrated system to monitor aquifer-systems; (ii) methods of data analysis and empirical modelling; (iii) hydrogeological and geotechnical modelling; (iv) evaluation of the potential impact of subsidence over buildings and infrastructures. X Finally, in Pistoia city case study (iv) results show that the joint analysis of monitoring data with geotechnical data permits to identify vulnerable urban areas where subsidence could generate damages over structures and infrastructures.Overall, these results demonstrate that the proposed methodology improves the knowledge of aquifer-systems affected by groundwater over-pumping and helps to achieve a sustainable management of groundwater resources in over stressed basins.
