Groundwater management relies mostly on ground-based observations, which are expensive and spatially limited� Here, we demonstrate the benefits of space-derived ground deformation measurements for characterization of aquifer properties and groundwater levels� We use Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time-series analysis of ERS, Envisat, and ALOS data to resolve 1992-2011 vertical ground deformation in the Santa Clara Valley, California� T-mode Principal Component Analysis successfully isolates temporally variable deformation patterns embedded in the multi-decadal time series� The data reveal uplift at 4 mm/yr between 1992–2000 and >1 mm/ yr in 2000–2011, illustrating the end of the poroelastic rebound following recovery of hydraulic heads after the 1960s low stand� Seasonal elastic deformation with amplitude of 3 cm is observed over the confined aquifer sharply partitioned by the Silver Creek Fault (SCF)� Integration of this deformation with hydraulic head data enables characterization of basin-wide aquifer system storativity� Additionally, we show that after a period of calibration, InSAR can be used to accurately characterize water level changes without well measurements�
