Describing coseismic groundwater level rise using tank model in volcanic aquifers, Kumamoto, southern Japan
The change of groundwater levels after the 2016 Mw 7.0 Kumamoto crustal earthquake was evaluated using a simple conceptual hydrological model in an attempt to show the presence, intensity, and probable mechanism of water level rise observed in Kumamoto where a comprehensive observation-well network exists. A tank model was applied to verify 16 wells in the study field. In the model groundwater lev
