Abstract
The extraction operation,on any aquifer, have effects that can be analzed from several points of view: environmental , economic , social, and from the point of view of the civil engineering. This articles shows the results of the study carried out in the northwest area of Madrid (Spain) where an important field of well is located and used to supply part of the metropolitan area. The objective of the investigation is to relate the extraction operations with the superficial movements. It was selected DInSAR technique to study ground movements in a temporal range. The analysis of the result shows a strong relationship between piezometric level and vertical movements. That relationship significantly decreases, at the same time as the distance to the wells increases. observed vertical movements were around 50–60 mm in the ring Close to the origin (1–2 km radius), decreasing the movements with the distance to the origin (well field). Finally, a special behavior was observed, the movement of that ring was similar to a rigid solid, as if the terrain were a plate, ascending and lowering as a whole.
