TIME SERIES ANALYSIS OF INSAR DATA TO STUDY LAND SUBSIDENCE INDUCED BY GROUNDWATER LEVEL DECLINE IN SIRJAN PLAIN

Sirjan located in Southwest of Kerman City, Iran, is a city with average annual rainfall of 132mm. Over-exploitation of groundwater used for irrigation of pistachios gardens has caused serious land subsidence in Sirjan Plain. In this research we have used the Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar...
