Abstract
Increase of water demand in Larissa Plain due to extensive cultivation, fulfilled by the over-exploitation of ground-water resource, lead to an intensive subsidence phenomenon causing in turns considerable damages to many buildings. DInSAR technique was proven to be a useful tool to measure ground deformation despite the unfavorable conditions inducing decorrelation. By exploiting differential interferometric pairs of short temporal separation and perpendicular baselines, it was possible to identify the area affected by ground deformation. Seasonal deformation signals were recognized at the southwestern part of the basin, reaching several centimeters during summer period.
