โœฆ Synopsis

In 1982 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published a study of reservoir-induced seismicity. The study evaluated the evidence of induced earthquakes from eight cases including Koyua, Hoover, Nurek, and Kariba. In this paper, the methods used in the 1982 study are applied to more recent data from Koyna and Aswan. The data from Aswan do not support classification of the 1981 earthquake as reservoirinduced. The data from Koyua confirm the findings of the 1982 study that the earthquakes at Koyna are not closely correlated to the reservoir operation.

This review is divided into five broad questions: (1) Is there a seismic effect of reservoir impounding? (2) What are the patterns of induced seismic activity? (3) What environmental conditions predispose towards triggering of earthquakes by reservoirs? (4) What is the probable physical cause of sei

If the effect of a reservoir is to bring a fault zone gradually to failure and trigger an earthquake, then it is reasonable that rapidly fluctuating tidal stresses may influence the time of the induced earthquakes. An examination of earthquakes from eight reservoirs shows that earthquakes at six sit
