“…Many studies have reported the occurrence of land subsidence and its effects [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Studies dealing with monitoring and detecting subsidence are numerous [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], as well as works addressed to land subsidence modeling for calculating the expected magnitudes and rates of subsidence for different scenarios [18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

In this work we present an application of InSAR and gravimetric surveys for risk management related to land subsidence and surface ground faulting generation. A subsidence velocity map derived from the 2007-2011 ALOS SAR imagery and a sediment thicknesses map obtained from the inversion of gravimetric data were integrated with a surface fault map to produce a subsidence hazard zoning in the city of Aguascalientes, Mexico. The resulting zoning is presented together with specific recommendations about geotechnical studies needed for further evaluation of surface faulting in these hazard zones. The derived zoning map consists in four zones including null hazard (stable terrain without subsidence), low hazard (areas prone to subsidence), medium hazard (zones with subsidence) and high hazard (zones with surface faulting). InSAR results displayed subsidence LOS velocities up to 10 cm/year and two subsidence areas unknown before this study. Gravimetric results revealed that the thicker sediment sequence is located toward north of Aguascalientes City reaching up to 600 m in thickness, which correspond to a high subsidence LOS velocity zone (up to 6 cm/year).

“…The San Luis Potosí valley is a tectonic basin consisting of a graben and horst system, located in the Mexican Central Plateau physiographic province [95], [96]. Semi-arid climate is predominant in this study area, with a mean annual rainfall of 378 mm and a mean annual potential evaporation of 2038.7 mm [97].…”

Land subsidence is a natural or anthropogenic process triggering the settlement of the Earth's surface. When this phenomenon is induced by groundwater withdrawal, compaction of unconsolidated sediments causes land displacement. Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (DInSAR) is widely used nowadays to monitor subsidence over extensive areas. However, validation of DInSAR measurements with in-situ techniques is lacking in many case studies, reducing the reliability of further analyses. The aim of this study is to propose a systematic methodology to validate DInSAR measurements with in-situ techniques to obtain reliable subsidence measurements. The paper provides a literature review of the most common approaches to validate DInSAR measurements and a description of the proposed systematic methodology, which is supported by a MATLAB opensource code. The methodology allows the analysis of both DInSARbased velocity and displacement time series. We propose a set of statistics to assess the accuracy of the DInSAR estimates. For this purpose, RMSE parameters have been normalised with the range and the average of the in-situ deformation values. Moreover, combining these normalised parameters with the Pearson correlation coefficient (R 2 ) a classification scheme is recommended for accepting/rejecting the DInSAR data for further analyses. This methodology has been applied in three study areas characterised by very well-documented subsidence processes: The Alto Guadalentín valley and Murcia city in Spain, and San Luis Potosí in Mexico.

Groundwater occurrence in semi-arid regions is variable in space and time due to climate patterns, terrain features, and aquifer properties. Thus, accurate delineation of Groundwater Potential Zones (GWPZs) is essential for sustainable water resources management in these environments. The present research aims to delineate and assess GWPZs in a semi-arid basin of San Luis Potosi (SLP), Mexico, through the integration of Remote Sensing (RS), Geographic Information System (GIS), and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Seven thematic layers (geology, lineament density, land use and land cover, topographic wetness index (TWI), rainfall, drainage density, and slope) were generated in raster format. After the AHP procedure and rank assignment, the thematic layers were integrated using the raster calculator to obtain the GWPZs map. The results indicated that 68.21% of the area is classified as low groundwater potential, whereas 26.30% is classified as moderate. Validation was done by assessing the water residence time data from 15 wells distributed in the study area. Furthermore, the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve was obtained, indicating a satisfactory accuracy prediction (AUC = 0.677). This study provides valuable information for decision-makers regarding the conservation and sustainable management of groundwater resources.
