Chapter 5
Subsidence Analysis and Simulation
Publication: Investigation of Land Subsidence due to Fluid Withdrawal
Abstract
The analysis of subsidence-prone areas generally involves evaluation of the material surface and subsurface geologic properties, as well as the potential physical and chemical processes that cause land subsidence. Empirical methods use the available data to derive relations between some forcing function, such as head, and subsidence or compaction. These are input–output models that typically involve time series of the measured inputs and outputs. This chapter discusses the simulation technique, which is based on the conceptual aquitard-drainage model. The quasi-theoretical approach utilizes the relation between subsidence and related phenomena. Some principal theoretical bases of several aquifer system compaction models are presented. Several types of subsidence models are examined, with principal focus on the more widely applied aquitard-drainage model and the emerging poroelasticity model.
