Land Subsidence

Introduction

Of all water that reaches the surface of the earth from all types of precipitation, some runs off as stream

flow, some is evaporated from land and water surfaces, and some is transpired by vegetation. It is the

purpose of this exercise to consider some aspects of what happens to the rest of the water – that which

enters the ground. The water may remain in the ground from a period of days to thousands of years.

Because of increased demand on groundwater supplies, many places in the world today are

experiencing groundwater related problems.

What is Groundwater?

Some precipitation infiltrates the ground and percolates downward through voids (pores, fractures,

crevices, and other spaces) in the soil and rock. The water in these voids is called groundwater. Porous,

water-saturated layers of sand, gravel or bedrock through which usable groundwater flows are called

aquifers. Any area of land through which water passes downward or laterally into an aquifer is called a

recharge zone. Some materials are very impermeable to water infiltration, such as clay, shale or dense

igneous bedrock, and are called aquicludes. (See figure 1)

 

 

Figure 1

Aquiclude

Aquiclude

 

 

There are two types of aquifers: confined and unconfined. An unconfined aquifer forms when

groundwater collects above a layer of relatively impermeable rock or compacted clay, and the top of the

water represents the water table. A confined or artesian aquifer forms when groundwater is

sandwiched between two aquicludes. This type of aquifer is completely saturated with water under

great pressure and when a well is drilled into the confined aquifer, sometimes water is able to rise to the

surface without pumping. This type of well is called a flowing artesian well system. It is the confined

aquifer that is associated with land subsidence.

Land Subsidence

Mexico City, Tokyo, Houston, Las Vegas, several areas of Arizona and California are experiencing serious

problem as a result of land subsidence. Land subsidence or sinking of the land surface can be due to the

removal of underground water (groundwater mining). When many wells are drilled into the aquifer,

pumping removes water from the aquifer and lowers the hydrostatic pressure (water pressure). This

reduced hydrostatic pressure in the pore spaces of the sediments result in the compaction of the aquifer

and in the gradual lowering of the land surface. If the water is replaced in the aquifer the increased

hydrostatic pressure will return the beds of sands and gravel to their original form, but once compacted

the clays and silts of the confining bed will not expand to their original thickness resulting in a lower

surface elevation. (See figures 2 and 3.)

 

Figure 2

 

 

Land subsidence can cause problems such as flooding along coastal areas, as well as structural damage

to buildings, highways, and dams.

Subsurface mineral mining, petroleum mining, and a natural process called chemical (solution)

weathering of certain bedrock material can also result in land subsidence. Central Florida, Kentucky,

Tennessee, and a small area in Michigan have underlying limestone bedrock material. This limestone

bedrock is highly soluble and forms great underground caverns. In certain cases, the land surface

subsides until it reaches a point of failure and caves in. The resulting hole is called a sinkhole and can

reach great depths.

Although we can’t increase the earth’s supply of water, we can manage what we have more effectively

to reduce the impact and spread of water resource problems. Problems such as aquifer depletion, land

subsidence, saltwater intrusion, and groundwater contamination are growing concerns in the United

States as well as many developing countries.

Subsidence in the Santa Clara Valley, California

The first place in the United States where land subsidence due to groundwater removal was recognized

was in the Santa Clara Valley in California. The valley is a large, structural trough filled with nearly 2,000

feet of fined-grained sands. Below the depth of 200 feet the groundwater is confined in these fine-

grained aquifers by layers of clay. In the past, wells near Santa Clara flowed (artesian wells), but

pumping for irrigation resulted in a lowering of the water pressure surface by 150 to 200 feet by 1965.

The water level decline and subsequent surface subsidence continued, and, except for a recharging of

the aquifer between 1938 and 1947 due to the construction of surface reservoirs, was an increasingly

serious problem until a groundwater recharge program brought it to a halt around 1971.

DESCRIBE THE BUSINESS CASE FOR CAR SHARING IN FUTUREVILLE

/in /by

DETAILED DESCRIPTION AND REQUIREMENTS

PART A: DESCRIBE THE BUSINESS CASE FOR CAR SHARING IN FUTUREVILLE

This assignment requires you to write a report dealing with the issues listed and described below. Schedules and cost estimates are not required for the very good reason that they involve an imprecise process that is part of project management rather than an analysis and design activity.

Part A should be set up as a report, with an introduction and appropriate headings

reflecting the topics and tasks below.

Before you proceed, read (if you have not already done so):

 “Activities of Core Process 1: Identify the Problem and Obtain Approval” on pp.

262–271 of the textbook.

 “Stakeholders” on pp. 46–48 of the textbook.

Also, download the files on the Car Sharing case study from the Important Resources block on the right of the course home page, and read through them.

Carefully review the definition of all terms and concepts in the detailed instructions below!

Your report should be set up as follows:

I. The Business Environment

This section of the report should provide sufficient background information to allow someone not familiar with the business situation to understand the justification for this project.

Start by addressing the following tasks:

1. Identify the business need for the Car Sharing IS project.

2. Consider the needed interfaces to other systems.

3. Analyze the system stakeholders, and briefly describe their “stakes.”

Stakeholders include the project sponsor and internal and external users. The textbook provides an example for the RMO case. See p. 49 of the textbook, and especially Figure 2-7.

Page 2 of 5

II. The System Vision

The system vision clearly describes how the information systems development

project and new system will contribute to the strategic direction of the Car Sharing

organization and pilot project (see Figure 9-5 on p. 264 of the textbook).

Specifically your report should address the following issues:

1. What are the system objectives for the Car Sharing IS?

2. What business benefits are to be obtained from the Car Sharing IS?

3. What system capabilities are required?

III. Risks and Feasibility

This section of your report identifies risks and confirms the feasibility of the

information systems development project. Project feasibility analysis verifies

whether a project may be started and successfully completed. Your report should

address the feasibility issues listed below. Start by clearly describing what issues

are addressed by each feasibility category (see the relevant definitions in the

textbook), and discuss the feasibility of the project with respect to each category.

1. Determine organizational and cultural feasibility. This evaluates organizational

and cultural issues to identify potential risks for the new system. See pp. 269–

270 of the textbook for examples of potential issues.

 

Note: the textbook does not provide an exhaustive list of possibilities!

Note: ‘organization’ in this context refers to the Car Sharing community—all

stakeholders, but particularly members and prospective members.

2. Assess technological feasibility. See p. 270 of the textbook.

3. Assess resource feasibility. See p. 270 of the textbook.

4. Assess schedule feasibility. See  pp. 270–271 of the textbook.

Part A is worth 55 marks. Marking criteria are

 completeness and correctness of the information presented (50 marks)

 organization of the report – structure, headings, etc. (2.5 marks)

 presentation – look, readability, etc. (2.5 marks)

The organization and presentation of information are part of the interpersonal and

communication skills required of systems analysts.

PART B: USE THE EVENT DECOMPOSITION TECHNIQUE TO IDENTIFY USE

CASES FOR THE CAR SHARING IS

 Before you proceed, you should review “Use Cases and Event Decomposition” on

pp. 70–76 of the textbook.

Page 3 of 5

Virtually all approaches to systems development begin the modeling process with

the concept of the use case. The textbook recommends several techniques for

identifying use cases.

For this assignment, you are required to use the event decomposition technique to

identify use cases. Develop a table for all events relating to

 membership – from recruitment to termination.

 accounts and billing.

 reservations.

 inventory – vehicles and locations.

 vehicle usage (completed trips).

The table should include three columns:

 Event Name

 Event Type (external, temporal, state)

 Use Case Name

When creating the table, keep related events (e.g., all events pertaining to

membership activities) together.

Part B is worth 25 marks. Marking criteria are

 completeness and correctness (22 marks)

 presentation– look, readability, etc. (3 marks)

PART C: ESSAY QUESTION

How do the report and table created in Part A and Part B of this assignment help in

the system development process of an information system for car sharing in

Futureville? What problems can occur if these documents are not created or are

inaccurate?

Answer the questions above, using overall 200–300 words. Being able to answer

questions precisely is part of the interpersonal and communication skills required of

systems analysts; therefore, meeting the word limit is important.

Answers consisting of more than 300 words will be marked with 0 points, and

answers of less than 200 words will receive reduced marks proportionate to

the length of the answer.

Make sure that your answer is written in your own words rather than being copied

either from the textbook or from another source! Cite the sources you use in your

answer, and provide references. There should be at least two references in your

answer, and at least one of them should not be the textbook. If you are not sure

how to list and cite sources, please read “How to Cite Correctly” in the Important

Resources block on the right side of the course home page.
