Subsidence affects millions of people around the world. Places such as Jakarta in Indonesia or Mexico City suffer severe and progressive land subsidence processes mainly due to the overexploitation of groundwater. In Spain, the overexploitation of the Guadalent\u00edn aquifer (Murcia) generates the highest rate of subsidence in Europe, reaching values of 11cm\/year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detecting and monitoring subsidence is crucial for understanding its causes, assessing risks, and implementing mitigation measures. In recent years, Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has emerged as a valuable tool for detecting and quantifying subsidence with high precision and accuracy. <\/p>\n\n\n

Detektia is a technology company specialized in satellite InSAR technology that offers solutions to identify and quantify land subsidence as well as to perform continuous monitoring of it. We may help you monitoring:<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n
