The Relationship between Land Subsidence and Water Use in Yazd-Ardakan Plain Using Sentinel-1 Images by Mohammadreza Goodarzi, Maryam Sabaghzadeh, Amirreza Rajabpour niknam

“…The study revealed that Sentinel images exhibit a strong capability to estimate the extent of subsidence. Considering the examination of groundwater consumption and depletion statistics in recent years, potential reasons for the reduction in subsidence in the study area could be attributed to management measures such as water transfer to this basin, alterations in agricultural practices, and a decrease in groundwater depletion compared to previous years in this region.…”
