| dc.description.abstract | Ground settlement has impacted many infrastructures in Lagos. Rapid urbanisation has further compounded this problem. Monitoring andmodelling of ground settlement will provide actionable information that can help to mitigate this problem. In this study, space-based retrievalswere used to investigate the magnitude and spatial distribution of ground settlement and the role of groundwater depletion in Lagos. Using theSBAS technique, the ground settlement rates were computed based on the Sentinel-1 data acquired between 2015e2019. The GRACE-derivedgroundwater head changes between 2002e2017 was quantified, and the ground settlement response to groundwater depletion was modelled. The highest recorded groundwater depletion rate was 11 mm/year, while the highest observed ground settlement rate was 94 mm/year, indicating an intense rate of ground settlement up to the end of 2019. The statistical correlation between ground settlement and groundwater head changes Is in the order of 0.4, which is a moderate positive correlation indicating a partial correlation between ground settlement and groundwater.depletion. To model settlement, a one-dimensional approach was used to simulate the response of ground settlement to changes in groundwater level. The simulated results fairly correspond to the magnitude of observed settlement, confirming that factors other than groundwater depletion partly control ground settlement in Lagos. | en_US |
