“…On Taiwan, during the the Chi-Chi earthquake of 1999 with M w = 7.5, observations were conducted on a network of several hundred wells (Wang et al, 2001;Chia et al, 2008). Water level variations in individual wells were monitored in the USA (Woodcook and Roeloffs, 1996;Roeloffs, 1998), in Japan (Matsumoto and Roeloffs, 2003), in the Caucasus (Georgia) (Chelidze et al, 2019), in Russia on the East European platform (Kocharyan et al, 2011), in the Kamchatka Peninsula (Kopylova et al, 2016;Kopylova and Boldina, 2019), and in other seismically active regions . Studying the specificity of HGSV manifestations in individual wells makes it possible to investigate hydrogeodynamic processes initiated in the well-water-bearing rock system by seismic waves and to track the changes in the state of the water-saturated medium with time.…”
