Variations in level of fluid in wells caused by
Earth tides and earthquakes are governed by two leading processes: deformation
of medium and filtration. These processes are described by identical systems of
equations and are united by the term “hydrodynamical phenomena”. The exact
solution is obtained for the problem of level variations in wells due to Earth
tides. The similar problem is solved for short-term precursors of a tectonic
earthquake. Results are consistent with data of field observations.
