Abstract
As part of the US Geological Survey prediction experiment at Parkfield along the San Andreas fault in California, a network of water wells is being monitored. This network consists of wells that are situated at seven sites that were drilled by the Geological Survey for the express purpose of monitoring water levels. These wells have turned out to be very sensitive volume strain meters. The scientific rationale for the wells as strain meters is explained in some detail. -from AuthorsAdditional publication details
