“…This subsidence pattern has expanded into new areas in the south-east, north-west, and parts of the south of the Hashtgerd city. The results of 27,29 indicate a maximum subsidence of 14 and 16 cm/year for the years 2003 to 2008 and 2015 to 2020, respectively, indicating an increase in the rate of subsidence.…”

“…In this study, which used the WEAP model to propose managerial scenarios applicable to the situation at hand, 2020 was chosen as the base year for the prediction of the pattern through 2050, taking climate change and land use type into account. In the most severe cases, when climate change and land use type are considered together, the average groundwater level decline will reach 58 m per year, depleting more than 50 percent of the aquifers in the region 29 .…”

“…As the most important agricultural region in the province of Alborz, agricultural practices in the Hashtgerd plain consume 87.23% and 90% of the region's surface and groundwater resources, respectively Shabani Rouchi et al, (2022) 28 . In this regard, Hanifehlou et al, (2022) examined the groundwater supply and demand balance in the Hashtgerd plain, one of the most important agricultural centers in Iran. In this study, which used the WEAP model to propose managerial scenarios applicable to the situation at hand, 2020 was chosen as the base year for the prediction of the pattern through 2050, taking climate change and land use type into account.…”

Due to its proximity to Tehran, the Hashtgerd catchment in Iran is an important region that has experienced alarming subsidence rates in recent years. This study estimated the ground surface deformation in the Hashtgerd plain between 2015 and 2020 using Sentinel-1 SAR data and InSAR technique. The average LOS displacement of the ascending and descending tracks was − 23 cm/year and − 22 cm/year, respectively. The central area of the plain experienced the greatest vertical subsidence, with a more than − 100 cm cumulative displacement. The Karaj-Qazvin railway and highway that pass through this area have been damaged by subsidence, according to an analysis of profiles drawn along the transportation lines. The southern sections of Hashtgerd city have experienced a total displacement of − 30 cm/year over the course of about 6 years. The relationship between changes in groundwater level and subsidence rate in this region was examined using piezometer and precipitation data. Geoelectric sections and piezometric well logs were also utilized to investigate the geological characteristics of the Hashtgerd aquifer. According to the findings, the leading causes of subsidence were uncontrolled groundwater abstraction. This research highlights the need to comprehend the spatial distribution of confined aquifers and their effect on subsidence, which can aid in the development of a suitable management strategy to restore these aquifers.
