Abstract: | By analyzing the relationship between ground water behavior and strong seismic activity during the past more than 20 years
in North China, we have found similar water level descending variation of a part of wells in the short-term stage before several
strong earthquakes. The characteristics of anomaly are: at the beginning, water level dropped abruptly or accelerated to drop;
then it turned to slow rising with a smaller amplitude than that of descending; earthquakes occurred during the slow-rising
process of water level, and at that time or before earthquake occurrence, water level rose with a large amplitude. Among more
than 100 wells in North China, the descending anomalies were not recorded for many times, but similar variation processes
of water level were noted at different wells before several strong earthquakes, which proves that seismic precursory anomalies
of ground water are of certain recurrence features, occurring repeatedly before different strong earthquakes. Therefore, it
is necessary to study the genesis of this type of anomaly and its relationship with strong seismic activity.
