“…The response of groundwater heads to barometric loading (BL) and Earth tides (ET) strains has long been observed and recognized (e.g., Klönne, 1880;Meinzer, 1939;Young, 1913). However, only a few studies have inferred hydromechanical properties mainly from ET signatures (e.g., Bredehoeft, 1967;Cutillo & Bredehoeft, 2011;Jorgensen, 1980;Merritt, 2004;Narasimhan et al, 1984). Recently, the work by Allégre et al (2016) provided estimates of specific storage and permeability by using the identified ET signal response observed in pore pressure data.…”

“…Van der Kamp (1972) attempted to solve the issue of calculating aquifer hydraulic diffusivity from these coastal wells. The accuracy of this attempt was later questioned when Merritt (2004) tried to replicate observations and results using the der Kamp (1972) solution compared to Li and Jiao's (2001) solution, which produced much higher transmissivities.…”

Groundwater extraction is increasing rapidly in many areas of the world, causing serious impacts such as falling water tables, ground surface subsidence, water quality degradation, and reduction of stream baseflow on which many ecosystems depend. Methods for understanding and predicting the impacts of groundwater extraction generally lack detailed spatial and temporal knowledge of the subsurface hydrogeomechanical properties. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of Earth and atmospheric tides and their impact on subsurface pore pressure. First, we evaluate the global occurrence of Earth and atmospheric tides. Then, we illustrate their impact on the groundwater response and connect this with the theory of poroelasticity, which underpins quantitative analyses. Finally, we review methods that utilize these impacts to characterize groundwater systems and to quantify their hydrogeomechanical properties. We conclude by highlighting their potential as passive and low‐cost investigation techniques and by outlining the research and developments required to progress and make analyses readily available. Thus, hydrogeomechanical properties of subsurface systems could be obtained at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolution, adding additional value to commonly acquired groundwater and atmospheric pressure data.

“…Tidal harmonic components have long been named depending on their frequency (Agnew, 2010). A comprehensive list of the most common components found in groundwater head measurements are summarised in Table 1 (Merritt, 2004). McMillan et al (2019) reviewed the state of the science, highlight the potential for such passive approaches and coin the term Tidal Subsurface Analysis (TSA).…”

Abstract. The groundwater response to Earth tides and atmospheric pressure changes can be used to understand subsurface processes and estimate hydraulic and hydro-mechanical properties. We develop a generalised frequency domain approach to disentangle the impacts of Earth and atmospheric tides on groundwater level responses. By considering the complex harmonic properties of the signal, we improve upon a previous method for estimating barometric efficiency (BE) estimation while simultaneously assessing system confinement and estimating hydraulic conductivity as well as specific storage. We demonstrate and validate the novel approach using an example barometric and groundwater pressure record with strong Earth tide influences. Our method enables improved and rapid assessment of subsurface processes and properties using standard pressure measurements.

“…This diurnal cycle is present in groundwater too, where it is sometimes mixed with cycles that are caused by inland tides [7,8]. Gravitational tides generate earth and atmospheric tides, which create periodic fluctuations in groundwater level at various temporal scales, such as diurnal and semidiurnal; the main tidal constituents of the lunar and solar influences on groundwater are M2, S2, N2, K1, and O1 [9,10]. Not only the inland groundwater level/flow but also the electric conductivity and pH of groundwaters records tides, according to a recent study [11].…”

Earth and atmospheric tides create oscillations in water parameters of inland rivers, mainly due to the similar behavior of groundwaters. Tidal oscillations of inland rivers were termed orthotides and were detected in fluctuations of water level and specific conductivity of some rivers. However, few things are understood about orthotides because of their recent discovery. Here, we show that orthotidal signals exist in streamwater temperature too. Wavelet and T_TIDE analyses are used to study streamwater temperature and specific conductivity. We found solar and lunar semidiurnal orthotides (S2 and M2) in Alapaha River (USA) water temperature and Wybong River (Australia) water specific conductivity with amplitudes of up to 0.6 °C and 11.3 µS/cm. We demonstrate that the tidal semidiurnal cycles have statistical significance and are caused by similar cycles in groundwater. Oscillations found in water temperature time series for some new moon time intervals have shapes that correlate with the gravitational tides. Diurnal and fortnightly tidal cycles were found and overlapped with other natural cycles with similar periodicities. The inclusion of more water parameters to the list of orthotidally sensitive parameters indicates the wider than expected environmental impact of the small periodic natural changes.
