  abstract = {{W}e investigate the deformation induced by water pressure variations in hydrologically active natural fractures, and recorded by tiltmeters and strainmeters. {T}he deformation associated with a single fracture is derived using finite-element modelling ({FEM}). {A} range in fracture geometries is explored, first to highlight the sensitivity of each geometrical parameter to the deformation, and secondly to allow transfer to observation sites. {W}ater level variations in the fracture are then derived from a hydrological model, driven by observed rainfall, and calibrated on fracture water flow measurements. {T}he modelling results are explicitly applied to constrain the local hydrological contribution to observations with the 100-m-long hydrostatic tiltmeter installed at {S}ainte-{C}roix-aux-{M}ines ({F}rance). {O}ur study shows that well-founded physical modelling of local hydrological effect allows a substantial correction of records in observatories.},
