Is the warming of well water a precursor to an earthquake?

Warming of well water may be a precursor of earthquake, but it is not a definite statement. There are many factors that cause the well water to become hot, such as the leakage of the electric wire of the bottom water pump, the hot spring resources underground, the hot water discharge pipe of a large factory nearby, or the heating pipe passing through the well.

Previously, villagers in Wan Xin Village, Anping Town, Lianyuan City found that the water temperature of an old well in the village suddenly rose. The temperature of well water is as high as 60 degrees Celsius for half a month, and the water vapor in the well is like a "hot spring".

2065438+On June 23rd, 2007, the Seismological Bureau of Hunan Province released a message saying that the "pre-earthquake anomaly" that recently attracted people's attention was indeed caused by electric leakage after investigation, and the earthquake precursor anomaly in this area was ruled out.

Later, in order to further confirm the judgment and prevent casualties caused by leakage, the local earthquake department suggested cutting off the power supply. It is understood that the water temperature in the second patio began to drop after the power outage, and the well water temperature has basically returned to normal. At this point, the "pre-earthquake vision" was completely ruled out, and the local people's emotions returned to stability.

The Provincial Seismological Bureau said that it will continue to pay close attention to the temperature change of well water and the subsequent development of the incident, providing a basis for further treatment, and called on everyone to report the "abnormality" to the local earthquake department as soon as possible.

Extended data:

An old well in Sichuan suddenly heated to 70 degrees.

10 June 13 In the afternoon, Ou of Weicheng took a bucket of water from a well in his backyard, and white smoke floated from the well. "Now the well water is still hot." Ou said that in the morning, the staff of Weicheng Town also brought a thermometer to measure the wellhead temperature, which was more than 30 degrees.

It happened half a month ago. Ou found that the electricity consumption at home was particularly high. He suspected that the submersible pump in the well in the hospital was leaking electricity, so he opened the manhole cover. "As soon as the manhole cover is opened, a stream of hot air comes out from it." They measured the temperature of the well water with a thermometer reaching over 70 degrees. Then the submersible pump was disconnected, and they ruled out the suspicion of electric leakage. However, the temperature of well water has been "high fever". "The locals also said that my well has become a hot spring."

According to Ou, this old well used to be the domestic water for the residents in the town. Later, after running water was connected to the town, the well was abandoned. "I took it from my relatives to open a car wash shop last year." Ou said that since he took over last year, there has never been a similar situation. I don't know why it suddenly warmed up this time.

The submersible pump has been out of power for more than 10 days, and the water temperature in this well is still more than 30 degrees. "I wish it was a hot spring, but it has never happened before." Ou said that they have reflected this phenomenon to the local government, hoping that some experts can find out the reasons for the rising water temperature.

Wang Ling, a staff member of Weicheng Town Government, said that they went to the site to conduct water temperature detection. "It is true that the water temperature is relatively high." They have reported to the Natural Resources Bureau of Youxian District and invited relevant experts to the site for further investigation.
