“…From 1940, California over-exploited 1.8 million m 3 of water every year with the exploitation depth of 305-754 m. Land subsidence affected farmland of more than 9000 km 2 . After water transfer, land subsidence was effectively prevented, and soil and water were conserved (Poland, 1981;Larsona et al, 2001). …”

The objective reality of uneven water resource distribution and imbalanced water demand of the human society makes it inevitable to transfer water. It has been an age-old method to adopt the inter-basin water transfers (IBTs) for alleviating and even resolving the urgent demand of the waterdeficient areas. A number of countries have made attempts and have achieved enormous benefits. However, IBTs inevitably involve the redistribution of water resources in relevant basins and may cause changes of the ecological environment in different basins. Such changes are two-sided, namely, the positive impacts, including adding new basins for waterdeficient areas, facilitating water cycle, improving meteorological conditions in the recipient basins, mitigating ecological water shortage, repairing the damaged ecological system, and preserving the endangered wild fauna and flora, as well as the negative impacts, including salinization and aridification of the donor basins, damage to the ecological environment of the donor basins and the both sides of the conveying channel system, increase of water consumption in the recipient basins, and spread of diseases, etc. Because IBTs have enormous ecological risk, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze the inter-basin water balance relationship, coordinate the possible conflicts and environmental quality problems between regions, and strengthen the argumentation of the ecological risk of water transfer and eco-compensation measures. In addition, there are some effective alternative measures for IBTs, such as attaching importance to water cycle, improving water use efficiency, developing sea water desalination, and rainwater harvesting technology, etc.

“…There was about 8 m settlement due to the uncontrolled exploitation of groundwater for agricultural use. Until 1994 the amount of subsidence increased to 10-meter for 50-meter water level drop in the region [4]. Such phenomenon has been observed in many parts of the world such as Mexico, Thailand, Japan, America [5], Shanghai [6] and other parts of the China in the past years [7].…”

In recent years, the land subsidence due to different phenomena such as excessive withdrawal of groundwater resources has lead to significant damages to farmlands, residential buildings, roads and transmission lines. Inattention to the land subsidence results in the ruining of buildings which in turn causes the migration of people and imposes financial and social costs on the government. In this paper a case study is performed for Marvdasht plain and rural regions of Fars province, Iran. All affecting parameters and their related damages are considered in the study. The variation of groundwater level and the conditions of rainfall and drought processes in recent years are investigated. The effects of faults and the seismic vulnerability of the regions are also studied by seismic methods. Such factor as groundwater level drop, thickness of clay layers, variation in the thickness of layers at the hillsides and the coincidence of the direction of created cracks and fissures with direction of available faults in the studied area have been investigated as the main factors affecting the soil settlement. At the end of the research, appropriate solutions for the land subsidence prevention and consequently the reduction of the related damages are presented.

“…Este problema se presenta en depósitos de sedimentos recientes arcillosos, a causa de la disminución de la presión intersticial o bien colapsos locales si hay cavidades kársticas o sifonamiento y arrastre de arenas. La ST puede ser de extensión regional cuando es causada por bombeo muy excesivo y continuo de AS y combinado con el peso de las construcciones civiles (Larson et al, 2001;LoboGuerrero Uscátegui, 2003;Carreón-Freyre et al, 2005;Ochoa-González y Carreón-Freyre, 2006;Abidin et al, 2008). La ST es gradual, repentina o con la presencia de grietas, que se deben al movimiento y deformación del material del subsuelo por extracción de petróleo, gas o descenso del AS.…”

Importancia de la hidrogeología urbana; ciencia clave para el desarrollo urbano sostenible 463 ResumenLa expansión urbana resultado del continuo crecimiento poblacional, la creación de industrias de diversos tipos y la paralela concentración de humanos en espacios reducidos, requieren de abastecimiento de agua suficiente y de buena calidad. En muchas ciudades del orbe el agua subterránea es la fuente principal del suministro para la población. A su vez, las actividades antropogénicas vierten grandes volúmenes de aguas residuales y efluentes industriales. El uso de una gran variedad de hidrocarburos y productos químicos en los procesos industriales ocasiona contaminación del suelo y de las fuentes de abastecimiento de agua potable. La complicada interacción entre los sistemas de flujo de agua subterránea y las ciudades (infraestructura, procesos, actividades y desechos) requiere de estudios cada vez más complejos, motivo por el cual emerge una nueva rama científica denominada "hidrogeología urbana" (HU), que es considerada una especialidad de las ciencias hidrogeológicas. El presente trabajo proporciona una visión general de la HU que permite entender los aspectos conceptuales, su campo de aplicación y su manejo. Se presenta información referida a la interdependencia de las ciudades y el aprovechamiento del agua, se detallan los procesos y mecanismos que estudia esta nueva rama del conocimiento, así como sus efectos asociados al medio físico y a la calidad química del agua (procesos contaminantes). Se analizaron casos de estudio tipo de varias ciudades alrededor del mundo con el fin de tener un escenario amplio sobre los impactos ambientales y los avances teóricos y tecnológicos desarrollados en la búsqueda de soluciones eficientes. Se resaltan las directrices y los modelos de gestión sostenible del agua subterránea en los medios urbanos desarrollados con el objetivo de proteger el medio ambiente y la salud pública de los residentes urbanos por medio de un análisis integral.Palabras clave: hidrogeología, ciudad, recarga, subsidencia, contaminación, gestión del agua.
