dc.description.abstractOne of the potential dangers that might arise as a result of bringing excessive amounts of groundwater to the surface of the Earth is land subsidence. Such surface deformations - these velocities may vary from a few millimetres to a few metres per year - do the greatest damage to infrastructure facilities and buildings in residential units. Agricultural lands, in which excessive irrigation is performed, and densely populated cities are more likely to suffer from land subsidence. Konya Closed Basin (KCB), where a rapid groundwater withdrawal has been observed during the last 30-40 years, is faced with such a threat. In this study, the possibility of the occurrence of land subsidence, related to groundwater withdrawal for the KCB, is assessed and the geodetic studies conducted up to now, with the intention of identifying land subsidence, are introduced. The vertical displacements of between -12 and -52 mm/year have been detected through GNSS observations collected on the 6-point test network. The land subsidence phenomenon has been developing in the areas where the groundwater is extensively used for irrigation and daily life. The results support the findings derived from the historical leveling records and point out the need of an extended study based on both GNSS and InSAR techniques for spatial and temporal mapping of land subsidence in the KCB.en_US

dc.description.sponsorshipThis research was supported by the Coordinatorship of Selcuk University Scientific Research Projects. The authors would like to thank A. Kilinc for providing the GNSS receivers for data collection and students for joining the field studies. The groundwater use and water level analysis were done using the data supplied from 4th Regional Directorate of State Hydraulic Works. C. Can afforded the opportunity to reach the leveling records. Lastly, we also thank anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions that greatly improved the manuscript.en_US
