Although there is no proven correlation between flooding events and increased seismicity, increased pore pressure due to percolation or increased crustal load from reservoirs residing on fault zones is known to decrease friction along the fault plane and increase likelihood of rupture. There is a possibility that flood could increase crustal load and cause rupture however due to short duration and decreased extent of percolation it is unlikely that flooding will increase the chance of an earthquake occurring.
