This electronic supplement contains a table and a figure. Table S1 provides details about rupture length, width and slip that have been used to calculate strain field for a given earthquake. Fig.S1 provides five examples of step like changes at five confined wells.
Table S1. Details about the fault parameters to calculate strain using mathematical formulation of Okada (1992). Rupture length, width and slip have been calculated from the earthquake magnitude using the scaling relations of Wells and Coppersmith (1997). USGS- United States Geological Survey.
