The different compressible rocks create a horizontal hydraulic gradient which induce horizontal groundwater movement as response to the variations of the tidal force 14. The semidiurnal fluctuations of the groundwater level is attributed to the elastic storage coefficients of the geological strata and the compressibility of solids under tidal force and to the tidal dilatation of water filled finite cavities (fracture, matrix, open joints between strata) 10, 11, 12, 13. According to Lambert 6, in 1880 Grablowitz attributed the semidiurnal fluctuations in wells to the tidal forces with the mention that there is an inverse relationship in mid-continental areas between water level and tidal force later studies confirmed this idea 7, 8, 9. The semidiurnal fluctuations of inland streamwater level is almost an unexplored domain these fluctuations have the form of a daily double-peaked evolution of the gauge height/discharge and are generally considered to be transient and caused by stormwater runoff, unphased local processes or snowmelt characteristics 5. A diurnal fluctuation of the stream water level exists and, when it is strong enough to be detected and measured, it is attributed to freezing/thawing, rainfall, temperature-dependant streambed hydraulic conductivity, viscosity of water, infiltration, evaporation, evapotranspiration and, on impaired rivers, to human intervention 2, 3, 4. A recent scientific review (2010) about the daily variations of the groundwater and river levels attributed lunar semidiurnal tidal oscillations (M2) only to groundwater 2 while the semidiurnal fluctuations in rivers were not mentioned.
The inland river levels with daily or shorter periodicities are rarely investigated in the hydrological literature 2. Their study showed the lunar tidal influence on inland rivers only at a monthly scale, but the lunar influence also have a semidiurnal periodicity, best known for oceanic waters. 1 and it is imposed by the lunar tidal influence on precipitation.
The lunar tidal influence on inland river streamflow was recently (2010) discovered by Cerveny et al. This secondary effect of the earth tides has important implications in predicting high resolution hydrographs, in the water cycle of wetlands and in water management. The average maximum semidiurnal peaks range between 0.002 and 0.1 m. It is stronger where springs with high discharge occur, especially in the area of Edwards-Trinity and Great Artesian Basin aquifers and in areas with dolomite/limestone strata. The lunar semidiurnal signal explains the daily double-peaked river level evolution of inland gauges.

Long time series with high frequency measurements were analysed by using standard wavelet analysis techniques. The moon has semidiurnal tidal influence on groundwater, which will then export it to streamflow. We show that, for some non-tidal rivers, with special geological conditions, the lunar semidiurnal tidal oscillation can be detected. The moon also influences inland rivers at a monthly scale through precipitation. UPS Express shipping worldwide from just £7.The lunar semidiurnal influence is already known for tidal rivers.
