A devastating mega thrust earthquake of magnitude 9 3 occurred on 26th December 2004 at the interface of India and Burma Plates. This triggered a tsunami that lashed south coastal Andhra Pradesh causing damage to life and property. This event was followed by a strange phenomenon of sudden rise in groundwater levels at some villages in Ranga Reddy and Mahabubnagar Districts. Unusual rise in water levels was observed in old, dried and abandoned wells and in some agricultural fields, which created a flutter among local population. A preliminary investigation carried out in parts of Ranga Reddy and Mahabubnagar Districts reveals that all the villages where oozing of water was observed are located adjacent to structurally controlled streams. Except Pirampalli all the villages are located in WNW ESE direction and located between two major faults trending in the same direction. Detailed further investigations could reveal the underlying cause for such strange occurrences.Keywords
