  • This thesis discusses the earthquake reflecting ability of the observation well pattern system of Jiangsu Province, China, which has been digitally renovated, and probes into the cause of the major differences in the earthquake reflecting abilities of well holes at different measurement points. This is achieved through the analysis of the co-seismic responses to the Wenchuan (2008; MS8.0, China) and Tohoku (2011; MS9.0, Japan) earthquakes. We found that the co-seismic response of water level from regional well holes in Jiangsu Province was stronger than that of water temperature. The water-level co-seismic response follows a consistent law and is closely related to the earthquake magnitude. The co-seismic response of water temperature strongly varied among well points, and was more often manifested as a slow restorative change. The co-seismic responses also varied based on tectonic elements. The response in central and northern Jiangsu was weaker than that of southern Jiangsu, possibly due to the thicker loess cover layer in central Jiangsu which makes it less effective at capturing the micro-changes of stress-strain states relative to the hilly land in the south. The more complicated geological structure in southern Jiangsu makes it contribute to greater changes in the state of underground water after a minor disturbance.

  • The co-seismic water-level oscillation of distant and violent earthquakes was discovered in the record of a deep well in Italy as early as 1899. Since then, a significant amount of research has been conducted on this topic. Blanchand and Byerly (1935) put forward a concise theory on how water-level fluctuated in response to reflected seismic waves. Rexin et al. (1962) confirmed the long-cycle response of water wells. As the most active medium in the Earth's crust, underground fluids are used to monitor water-level and water-temperature changes of pressure-bearing wells as a seismic precur- sor; this not only reflects the strained condition of the water-bearing stratum during the earthquake-free period (e.g., solid tide response), but also shows a clear co-seismic response to distant and violent earthquakes. Through research on this topic, we can reveal the response of the medium of water-bearing stratum under the impact of seismic waves to stress-strain, promote research into the movement of underground water under the impact of regional tectonic stress, improve our understanding of the geological and the hydro-geological conditions in the well region, and promote our recognition and research of the fluid precursors in the process of earthquake preparation (Che, 1990; Zhang et al., 2000; Huang et al., 2000; Zhang et al., 1991). In recent decade, the co-seismic effect phenomenon of national underground fluid observation wells caused by several large earthquakes has aroused the attention of many scholars, and has become a hot area of research. Many studies have been carried out on this phenomenon (Fu et al., 2007; Liu, 2003; Gao et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2007; Liao et al., 2008; Gu et al., 2010; Yin et al., 2009).

    This thesis arranges and collects the observation data of two observation items (water level and water temperature) from 10 wells in the digitized observation well pattern system of underground fluids in Jiangsu. We have used this information to study and analyze the changes in co-seismic features and response of water level and water temperature to two disatrous earthquakes (2008 MS8.0 Wenchuan, China, and 2011 MS9.0 Tohoku, Japan). The results suggest that a general law can be applied to understand the co-seismic response of water level and water temperature in observation wells. We discuss the possible cause of the major differences in the response strengths of the fluid observation well pattern system to distant and disastrous earthquakes, which is very valuable as a reference for enhancing the monitoring ability of the underground fluid observation well pattern system of Jiangsu and the subsequent renovations of well holes.

    The geological structure in Jiangsu Province is dominated by two tectonic elements, the North China fault block region and Lower Yangtze fault block region, with the Tancheng-Lujiang and Huaiyin-Xiangshuikou fault zones as the boundary. The fault structure in the region is highly developed, which can, according to the direction of the fault, be divided into four groups including NE, NW, NNE and near E-W, of which the NE faults dominate in quantity. Large-scale active faults in the regions include the Tancheng-Lujiang fault zone, the Huaiyin-Xiangshuikou fault zone, the JiangshanShaoxing fault zone, the Mufushan-Jiaoshan fault and the Maoshan fault.

    Most of the observation points for water level and water temperature in Jiangsu Province are located in active fault zones (including epicental distribution zones and geothermal abnormal zones) and just adjacent to them. In addition, by considering that Jiangsu Province is made up by a vast plain, well-developed loose deposits, with most underground water being interstitial and that karst water and bed-rock crevice water is scarce, and by also considering the characteristics of the rocks of the observation stratum, we have conducted an overall observation arrangement for different regions according to the well-formation structure and depth, the precision of the solid tide record, earthquake-reflecting efficiency and the post-earthquake effect. Through the digitized renovation in the 9th five-year plan and the 10th five-year plan periods, the seismo-tectonic conditions, observation environment, the instruments and equipment of these observation well points can meet the demand for earthquake monitoring and forecast. The distribution of the regional active fault zones and fluid well holes are presented in Figure 1a and the basic well hole parameters are presented in Table 1.

    Jiangsu Province now has 10 digitized fluid observation wells for observing water level and geotherm. In addition, we can also monitor flow, air temperature, air pressure and precipitation. The LN-3 or LN-3A digital limnimeter are used to measure water level and the SZW-1A digital gauge is used to measure water temperature. In terms of the long-term observation of instruments, some stations (points) have a high observation precision of water level and water temperature in spite of the transient absence of recording caused by the failure of instruments or lightning strikes. Their annual rate of continuation reaches 99%. Solid tide records are both clear and complete. The mechanistic features of the seismic records for distant and violent earthquakes are clear. There is a typical response image. However, the observation effect and precision of some stations (points) are poor, they cannot properly reflect changes in underground fluids.

    Based on the MS8.0 earthquake that occurred in Wenchuan approximately 1 300 km–1 500 km from Jiangsu Province on May 12, 2008, and the MS9.0 earthquake that occurred in Japan approximately ~2 400 km–2 600 km from Jiangsu Province on March 11, 2011 (Figure 1b), we analyze the co-seismic response characteristics of 10 digitized fluid observation wells in Jiangsu Province, and then discuss the earthquake reflecting ability of the well holes of different structural units at different positions.

    Figure 2 indicates that eight of the 10 fluid observation wells in Jiangsu Province had unusual co-seismic responses on the day of the MS8.0 Wenchuan earth- quake. The blue curve shows the water temperature record from the deep level observation wells and the black curve shows the water level record from the same wells. Table 2 gives the major co-seismic response parameters, water level and water temperature, during and after the earthquakes.

    By analyzing Figure 2 and Table 2, we find a large difference between the co-seismic response of water level and water temperature at the same well hole and the same observation item at different well holes. The waterlevel response can be classified into three types: pulse, sudden change, and pulse trend. In the pulse type, after a rapid rise (or fall) continues for several minutes to half an hour, the observation value is restored to the normal dynamic value, with quite different vibration amplitudes among well holes. For example, in Suining well 02 and Liyang well 22, the water seismic value arrived four minutes after the earthquake with a periodic fall-periodic rise (or periodic rise-periodic fall) change with an amplitude over 1 m. This condition restored to the normal state after persisting for half an hour. Only tiny pulses were recorded in Jinhu well 06, Xinghua well 08 and Nantong well 12. There was no suppression of the form of the normal solid tide change. The second type of response is sudden change. The observation value during (after) the earthquake jumps suddenly, with a smaller range than that of the pulse type. Post-earthquake, restoration to the normal pre-earthquake dynamic change is slow. For example, in Dantu well 18 and Jurong well 16, a rapid rise occurred six minutes after the earthquake, with a range of about 0.2 m; this was followed by fluctuation around a new base value. By analyzing the long-term observation form, both wells were used for nearly one year before gradually falling to the pre-earthquake water-level observation value. The third type of response is a pulse trend. This is a pulse change, except that it does not fall back to the normal dynamic change, but is instead followed by a steady rise. For example, in Kunshan well 21 a rise-fall pulse occurred four minutes later, and after returning to the normal dynamic value, a slow rising occurred under the subsequent effect of the water seismic wave. About two months later, it gradually restored to the water-level value before the violent Wenchuan earthquake.

    The change in water temperature in response to seismic waves is mostly consistent with that of water level, but there exist some differences. In general, the water temperature response is not as strong as that of water level. Jinhu well 06 and Xinghua well 08 did not exhibit an obvious change due to co-seismic response. Against the background of a gradual fluctuation, Kunshan well 21 had a concave change of about 0.006℃. After continuing for 88 minutes, it restored to its normal range. The types of sudden change in watertemperature and water level of Nantong well 12 and Dantu well 18 were similar. Both assumed a fluctuation on a new base value after a rapid fall. About three months later, it restored to the normally observed water temperature. The water temperature of Jurong well 16 and Liyang well 22 did not rise (fall) suddenly after the violent earthquake, but both exhibited a slow rise, with a range of 0.044℃ and 0.012℃, respectively. About two months later, it fell slowly again, and gradually restored to the pre-earthquake water-temperature value.

    Figure 3 shows the observation parameters of the fluid well pattern system on the day of the MS9.0 Tohoku, Japan earthquake. The black curve is the record of the water level in the observation wells, while the blue curve is the record of water temperature from the same wells.

    Figure  3.  Observations of the seismically induced changes of water level and water temperature of Jiangsu Province well pattern system in response to the MS9.0 Tohoku, Japan earthquake.

    As the MS9.0 Tohoko, Japan earthquake had a greater magnitude, the water level of seven of the eight observation wells exhibited a pulse of rapid periodic fallperiodic rise (or periodic rise-periodic fall). After continuing for several minutes to half an hour, the observation value was restored to the normal dynamic value. However, Nantong well 12, which showed only a small fluctuation in water level during the 2008 MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, showed almost no record of coseismic change during the 2011 MS9.0 earthquake. The water level in six of the seven wells exhibited rapid pulse changes recorded in the co-seismic water wave 4 to 10 minutes after the earthquake. However, the starting time of the co-seismic record of Jinhu well 06 differed. As can be discovered from the co-seismic starting time of Table 3, the water level of this well displayed a rapid fall four minutes after the earthquake. At 13h46min, the principal part of the MS9.0 Tohoku earthquake occurred. At 13h48min in two minutes after the earthquake, the largest pulse changes occurred, with a range of 0.368 m (Figure 4), followed by a small fluctuation change lasting for about 20 minutes, and ultimately restoration to the normal background value. In comparison with the Wenchuan earthquake, such phenomenon did not occur in the water level of Jinhu well 06. According to the analysis, this was caused by an error in the service clock of the water level observation instrument. As the observation record during the earthquake has already been stored, we cannot accurately rectify the time now. Even though the topic of this study does not require precise timing, the time error of several minutes is notable for the accuracy of portent data and the subsequent applications.

    Although the 2011 Tohoku, Japan earthquake had a greater magnitude than the 2008 Wenchuan, China earthquake, it had a smaller seismic influence on the water temperature of the regional well pattern system of Jiangsu Province. Only Suining well 02, Dantu well 18 and Jurong well 16 showed seismic responses, and the seismic change in water temperature of Suining well 02 was similar to that of the Wenchuan earthquake, assuming a concave change, and a similar range of change, decreasing 0.035℃ and 0.032℃, respectively. The for m of the co-seismic change of water temperature of Jurong well 16 and Dantu well 18 were also similar to that of the Wenchuan earthquake, only with a small range of fall (rise), 0.011℃ and 0.006℃, respectively, with a more gradual trend. Figure 5 is the graph of hourly water temperature values of the three wells from March 11 (when the earthquake occurred) to three months after the earthquake. As can be seen from the figure, the post-earthquake effect on water temperature of three wells is completely different. Suining well 02 continued to change steadily to a new base temperature immediately after a rapid and sudden fall. Jurong well 16 maintained a steady change before the earthquake but rose suddenly during the earthquake, and began to fall after the high value for one day; the rate of fall was alternatingly high and low, and became stable in June 2011. After that, at 30.255℃ a new base-value line fluctuation change occurred, declining 0.024℃ compared to 30.279℃, the base value before earthquake. Dantu well 18 developed a large background fluctuation in water temperature. Although the co-seismic effect followed a concave change, the range of change was small, only 0.006℃. After the earthquake, the water temperature rose slightly, and returned to normal about one month later.

    Matsumoto (1992), Roeloffs (1998), and Yang etal., (2005) have researched the relationship between the degree of change in water level and earthquake magnitude/distance to the Japanese Haibara well, the American Californian Parkfield BV well, and the Yunnan Simao well, respectively. The research findings show that the post-earthquake change in well water level, the earthquake magnitude, and the well-to-earthquake distance follow the relationship:

    (1)

    where, Δh indicates the degree of change in water level measured in the units of cm; M indicates the earth quake magnitude; α, b1, b2 are constants; and D is the well-to-earthquake distance.

    We carried out regression calculations of the ten wells in Jiangsu Province according to the statistical values in Tables 2 and 3, obtaining

    (2)

    The degree of change in water level in response to a second strong earthquake in the region basically follows relation (2). This can be seen especially in Suining well 02 and Liyang well 22, which are subject to changes of large-scale pulse rises (or drops) in water level (Δh > 100 cm).

    Then we calculate the correlation coefficient of the eight wells. In the Wenchuan earthquake, the correlation coefficient of the actual water level and the theoretical water level is 0.771. In the Japan earthquake, the corre- lation coefficient is 0.726. This shows that the relation (2) reflect the relationship between Δh, D and M.

    By further analyzing the change in water level and water temperature, we find that, the greater effect an earthquake has on water level, the greater the change in temperature will be (Figure 6). When the degree of change in water level is assumed to be the independent variable x (in units of m), and the degree of change in temperature is assumed to be the dependent variable y (in units of ℃), then they meet the power function:

    (3)

    According to Figure 6, in the case of a second strong earthquake, most stations are subject to changes in water level of 10 cm < Δh < 50 cm, and in water temperature of within 0.005℃. When the change in water level is more than 1 m, the temperature will change greatly. Obviously, in the co-seismic response of a fluid, the temperature change corresponds well to the oscillation in water level.

    Figure  6.  Relationship between change in water level and change in water temperature due to coseismic response.

    All ten wells in Jiangsu Province were observed at the still water level (refer to Table 4 for the statistic results of the seismic responses of the ten wells during the two earthquakes). The observations in Jinhu well 06 and Xinghua well 08 were of deep water temperature, with depths of 400 m and 800 m from the fixed benchmark surface of the well mouth, respectively. The vertical distance of the probe launched from the fixed benchmark surface of the well mouth to the well tube was 30 m to 50 m, respectively. The other eight wells were medium-level water temperature, with a depth of 200 m from the well mouth.

    As can be seen from Table 4, the water level and water temperature of Suyu well 05 and Haimen well 14 had no co-seismic response to these two violent earthquakes, accounting for 20% of all observation wells. During the Wenchuan earthquake, the water level of eight wells recorded water seismic waves, accounting for 80% of all observation wells, six wells recorded watertemperature changes, accounting for 60%. During the Japan earthquake, the water level of seven wells recorded water seismic waves, accounting for 70% of all observation wells, and only three wells recorded watertemperature changes, accounting for 30%. During the two earthquakes, the water level and water temperature of only three wells (Suining well 02; Jurong well 16; Dantu well 18) recorded co-seismic changes at the same time. The co-seismic response of water level fo-cused on the pulse type change, with the range of change greater than the co-seismic change of water temperature. Water temperature followed a trend-type change, with a greater duration in co-seimic response and postearthquake adjustment time than that of water level.

    The earthquake-recoding capacity of water level and water temperature is closely related to their respective change mechanisms. The change of water level is mainly influenced by the interstitial pressure and water-flow velocity in the water-bearing stratum. If the pressure-bearing and closure of the water-bearing stratum of a well is good, then even a very weak change of the stress-strain can be demonstrated in the water level change. The water temperature change is the result of the energy exchange between underground water and its surrounding media. The exchange of energy is not subject to the limitation of the storage space of underground water. In addition to being subject to the influence of the water flow velocity, the change of water temperature is also subject to the control of such factors as the path of water flow, the heat-transmission performance of surrounding rock media, and the depth of the water-temperature probesinthe observationwells. Therefore, the different change mechanisms of water level and water temperature result in the major difference in the response ability and response image of the same well to the same earthquake.

    As can be seen from Table 4, for both water level and water temperature observations, the number of well holes of co-seismic response recorded during Wenchuan earthquake is larger than that of well holes recorded during the Tohoku earthquake. The epicenter of the Wenchuan earthquake is about 1 300 to 1 500 km away from the Jiangsu Province, while the epicenter of the Tohoku earthquake is about 2 300 km to 2 500 km away. Although the magnitude of the Tohoku earthquake was greater, the increased distance made the tectonic elements, type of underground water and the water-transmission capacity of water-bearing stratum between them more complicated and diversified, and led to the difference in seismically induced periodic-change range of water level and water temperature of various wells, the restoration time of periodic change, and the after effect of seismic responses.

    We can clarify that the degree of water-level seismic response is closely related to the magnitude of distant earthquakes. The greater the magnitude, the higher the response. By comparing Figure 2 with Figure 3, we see that the water-level co-seismic change during the 2011 Tohoku, Japan earthquake was characterized by a drastic pulse followed by rapid restoration to the background value. In contrast, the water level coseismic change during the Wenchuan earthquake was much more gradual (e.g. Jinhu well 06, Xinghua well 08, Natong well 12 and Jurong well 16). However, water temperature does not follow this law (e.g. Liyang well 21 and Kunshan well 22). The Tohoku earthquake had no co-seismic abnormalities. The co-seismic change forms and ranges of water temperature of other wells were also on the small side. Because the temperature change usually depends on such factors as the rock water permeability and temperature gradient, the temperature response lag time of probes and the temperature change is far more complicated.

    In the ten observation wells for which the two observation items (water level and temperature) were set at the same time during the two earthquakes, water level and water temperature of three wells recorded coseismic response. During both earthquakes, two wells had no co-seismic change of either water level or water temperature. This proves that the monitoring ability of different wells in the region can have large differences.

    The adjacent well holes on the same fault zone have completely different response strengths to violent earthquakes. There are two groups of wells that are most typical of this: Suining well 02 and Suyu well 05; Nantong well 12 and Haimen well 14. Suining well 02 and Suyu well 05 are located on both sides of the TanchengLujiang fault zone, and the distance between the two wells is about 80 km. The basic conditions of these two wells, including the lithology, well-formation depth and the type of underground water, were very similar, but they responded very differently to distant violent earthquakes. No seismic change occurred in the water level or the water temperature of Suyu well 05 during the two earthquakes. The same occurred at Nantong well 12 and Haimen well 14. Both wells are located in the E-W Huangqiao-L¨ usi fault zone of Tongyang uplift, 20 km away from each other. However, no seismic change occurred in Haimen well 14 during these two great earthquakes. This phenomenon all the more proves that the monitoring efficiency of this well is perhaps inadequate.

    In terms of the whole region, subject to the influence of such factor as the thick covering layer or the type of underground water, several wells in central Jiangsu had a low overall sensitivity in their response to distant and violent earthquakes. In contrast, the four wells in southern Jiangsu (including wells 16, 18, 21 and 22) had a high level of monitoring in such parameters as the response time, periodic-change range and subsequent change.

    Based on the observation of water level and water temperature of the ten wells in a digitized underground fluid observation well pattern system in Jiangsu Province, this thesis discusses the seismic change characteristics and response of water level and water temperature to the 2008 MS8.0 Wenchuan earthquake and the 2011 MS9.0 Tohoku earthquake, and draws the following preliminary conclusions.

    As indicated by the seismic response data of the ten wells in Jiangsu Province, the earthquake-recording ability of water-level at a series of observation points in this region was notably stronger than that of water temperature. The seismic response of the water level at most wells followed a consistent law describing its change, and was closely related to the earthquake magnitude. The greater the magnitude, the stronger the response, and the more instantaneous its influence upon the stress state of well regions. Pulse oscillation prevailed, and restored to its original state soon after the earthquake. Water temperature and water level had different response mechanisms, so they had different response degrees and forms, and there also existed a major difference between the changes in water temperature of different well holes, which was mostly manifested as a slow restorative change. That is to say, after water level stopped oscillating, the crosswise water-power action of the water body of water-bearing stratum and well water was not stopped. There still existed a relatively slow process of heat convection in the water body of the water-bearing stratum, which perhaps slowed down the restorative velocity of the well water temperature.

    Tectonic elements had a clear effect on well hole response. In central Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu, only Suining well 02 had a good reflection of water level and water temperature to the two great earthquakes, and most of the well holes had an unclear reaction to the micro-dynamic change of water level and water temperature caused by distant earthquakes. Good seismic response changes were recorded during these two earthquakes in the water level and water temperature of the well holes in southern Jiangsu. The difference be tween the strong and weak earthquake-recording ability in southern and northern Jiangsu, respectively, may have been caused by the different geological structures in which these observation wells are located. The tectonic characteristics of the thicker loess covering layer in central Jiangsu made it weaker than the hilly land in southern Jiangsu in capturing the micro-changes of stress-strain states. The more complicated geological structure in southern Jiangsu was more favorable to the change of the state of underground water after a minor disturbance.

    The error caused by the advance of the co-seismic response time and the occurrence time of the Tohoku earthquake to the water level of Jinhu well 06 had a major effect on the accuracy of the portent observation data and the further application of observation data. Strengthening the checks in the time service system of portent observation is one of the problems that we must pay attention to during our monitoring work.
