Location map of comprehensive observation wells

The Geological Survey of Japan has been monitoring groundwater levels of observation wells around the Tokai-Izu region since 1976 for the purpose of clarifying the mechanism of hydrological precursors of earthquakes. After the 1995 Hyogo-ken Nanbu Earthquake, we made an observation network composed of about 30 wells mainly along active faults in and around the Kinki area for monitoring active faults. 18 wells have 3 components strain meters and seismometers etc. besides water level sensors. The upper right figure is an example of long period records of water levels at Haibara and Kusanagi in the Tokai region. These clearly show coseismic change in water level. The upper left figure shows a result of water level and 3 component strains at Hanaore before and after the earthquake (M4.9) in the northern part of Shiga Prefecture. The epicentral distance is only l2km. We have been carefully studying precursory changes in the records.
