Stable isotopes show that earthquakes enhance permeability and release water from mountains

The authors investigate the groundwater table changes in the Kumamoto region (Japan) following the 2016 M w 7.0 Kumamoto earthquake. Through detailed isotope analysis the study shows how earthquakes can rupture the crust and generate new pathways for aquifers.
