Underground human activities, such as mining, shale gas, and oil exploitation, waste-water disposal, or geothermal plants, can cause earthquakes; therefore, they are monitored by local seismic networks. An ideal seismic network has a triangulated grid, with spacing equal twice the minimal depth and no associated industry noise. In real cases, the network sensitivity is biased by stations placed near noisy roads, factories, or in a private garden, none located at optimal nodes. The sensitivity is also a function of the detection algorithm type and setting. The goal of this case study is to suggest a work-flow for network sensitivity calculation in case of no seismic activity. In other words: how small are the earthquakes that such seismic networks would detect if they were present? Such network sensitivity is a function of stations noise level, station-source geometry, and setting of the detection algorithm. A brief theory and work-flow description is followed by two real-case demonstrations from Czech Republic, Europe: first, a proof-test on a well-studied seismically active area of West Bohemia/Vogtland and second, an application to an uprising geothermal project in Litoměřice, where no seismic activity was detected in years of monitoring.
