“…The data revealed statistically significant and surprisingly clear vertical and horizontal deformations associated with pumping in spite of the about 83 m of caliche and clay-dominated unsaturated zone overlying the principal aquifer. The horizontal deformation data are accurate to 0.2 mm, while the measured vertical deformation contained a bit more noise but are accurate to about 2 mm (Burbey et al, 2006).…”

“…Three-dimensional deformation and strain induced by municipal pumping, Part 2: Numerical analysis of the aquifer test as hydraulic heads appear to have reached a new equilibrium after approximately 20-30 days of pumping. The amount of deformation and the strain components at various distances and times were discussed in detail in the first paper (Burbey et al, 2006). On the basis of these deformations, it is suspected that the regional flow gradient may also influence drawdown and deformation (see Fig.…”

“…Theoretical ratio of maximum horizontal to maximum vertical displacement is 38% for a single Mogi source [51]. A field based aquifer test in Nevada shows that the horizontal displacements reach 8 mm and vertical displacements reach 12 mm within the first 22 days of pumping before reaching the steady state pumping [52]. Thus, the horizontal displacement induced by aquifer abstraction can be significant.…”

Groundwater is a major source of fresh water in Tianjin Municipality, China. The average rate of groundwater extraction in this area for the last 20 years fluctuates between 0.6 and 0.8 billion cubic meters per year. As a result, significant subsidence has been observed in Tianjin. In this study, C-band Envisat (Environmental Satellite) ASAR (Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar) images and L-band ALOS (Advanced Land Observing Satellite) PALSAR (Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar) data were employed to recover the Earth's surface evolution during the period between 2007 and 2009 using InSAR time series techniques. Similar subsidence patterns can be observed in the overlapping area of the ASAR and PALSAR mean velocity maps with a maximum radar line of sight rate of~170 mm¨year´1. The west subsidence is modeled for ground water volume change using Mogi source array. Geological control by major faults on the east subsidence is analyzed. Storage coefficient of the east subsidence is estimated by InSAR displacements and temporal pattern of water level changes. InSAR has proven a useful tool for subsidence monitoring and displacement interpretation associated with underground water usage.

“…Withdrawal of groundwater causes subsurface stress changes that can mechanically deform geologic media and produce measureable deformations and even ground failures at the surface (Galloway and Burbey 2011). Introduction and extraction of subsurface fluids can cause threedimensional (3D) deformation (Burbey 2001;Burbey et al 2006;Gambolati et al 2006;Bell et al 2008), and measuring both horizontal and vertical displacements can provide important information for understanding the effects of the injection of fluids in the subsurface.…”

One important issue in the storage of large volumes of fluids, mainly water and CO 2 , in the deep subsurface is to determine the resulting field-scale-induced displacements and consequences of overpressures on the mechanical integrity of the storage reservoir and surroundings. A quantifiable estimation of displacement can be made by combining the robust, cost-effective, and repeatable geophysical techniques of micro-gravimetry, differential global positioning system (DGPS), and differential synthetic aperture radar interferometry (DInSAR). These techniques were field tested and evaluated for the first time on an active large-volume aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) project in Pendleton, Oregon, USA, where three ASR wells are injecting up to 1.9 million m 3 year −1 into basalt aquifers to a depth of about 150 m.Injection and recovery of water at the wells are accompanied by significant gravity anomalies and vertical deformation of the ground surface localized to the immediate surroundings of the injection wells as evidenced by DGPS and gravity measurements collected in 2011. At a larger scale, and between 2011 and 2013, DInSAR monitoring of the Pendleton area shows subcentimetric deformation in the western part of the city and close to the injection locations associated with ASR cycle. Deformations are found to be temporally out phased with the injection and recovery events due to complex groundwater flow. A numerical simulation of the effect of the water injection gives results in good agreement with the observations and confirms the validity of the approach, which could be deployed in similar geological contexts to look at the mechanical effects of water and gas injections.
