Explanation:

In hydro-seismicity water from heavy rainfall enters small fractures in rocks, which raises the pressure. The pressure built up due to the rise in ground water is released in earthquake swarms. It is estimates that with every 10 meter rise in groundwater pore pressure increases by 1 bar.
