RESUMEN DEL PROYECTO
AQUARISK is a coordinated proyect that aims to provide new products and services for thee analysis, management and mitigation of the geologicalgeotechnical risks associated with the exploitation of aquifers in urban areas. For this purpose multi-sensor ((ERS & ENVISAT, ALOS PALSAR, Sentinel, PAZ) satellite DInSAR and GPS data fusion will be performed at regional scale to determine the 3D deformation field of the mediterranean arc (Southeast Spain). This analysis will permit to detect the temporal evolution of subsidence in those hidrographic basins that suffer the greatest exploitation (e.g. Guadalentin-Segura river basin). In these areas, new in situ monitoring systems will be developped and implemented to monitor automatically and in real time (robotised sytem contected with GPRS) the temporal evolution of ground water level and the aquifer deformation in depth. These measurement data will be integrated with EO data to determine the 4D deformation field (surficial and deep), and to define future climate change based scenarios of the aquifer system response. All this effort will permit to develop, calibrate and validate advanced numerical geomechanical models that will simulate the past-present-future aquifer system response, and to analyze the impact of subsidence on urban structures and infrastructures. This proposal requires the coordinated effort of two multidisciplinar groups, both experts in the use of spatial techniques for the study of Geological-Geotechnical risks, but complementary in their applications: DInSAR processing, GNSS observation, data fusion, models inversion (Sub-project 1), DInSAR processing, in situ monitorinng, data integration, geomechanic numerical models, forensic analysis urban of structures and infrastructures (Subproject 2).
The research proposal is in the frame of the State Program of I+D+I Facing the Challenges of the Society within the State Plan for Scientific Research, Technology and Innovation. Within the challenge “Action on climate change and efficient use of resources and raw materials” which considers the asociated tematic priority “Efficient use of resources and raw materials”, addressing the challenges (i) integrated management and sustainable use of water resources , analysis , evaluation and monitoring of the waters forecast droughts, floods and natural or anthropogenic disasters; (ii) the establishment and operation of Global Earth Observation Systems (GEOS ); (iii) security of water infrastructure; and (xi) research in geologicalgeotechnical risks associated with natural disasters and climate change, both in relation to transport infrastructure as to building. In this framework, AQUARISK:
Performs research and development on new services & products based on EO multi-sensor satellites data in conjunction with in-situ data. Consolidates national scientific and technological leadership on the exploitation of EO and in situ data to monitor, model and predict subsidence due to aquifers exploitation in different climatic change scenarios.
Exhibits the necessary scientific, technological and structural capacities for providing a sustainable operational service to integrate EO and in-situ data to monitoring urban structures & infrastructures, developing site-specific vulnerability and impact modelling.
