In this chapter the five sites, namely Hsinfengkiang, China; Kariba on Zambia-Zimbabwe border; Kremasta, Greece; Koyna, India; and Polyphyto, Greece, where triggered earthquakes of magnitude 6 or more have occurred are discussed. This includes the background of earthquakes, general geology of the region, water impoundment history, and the observation and continuation of RTS. The characteristics of RTS sequences and how they differ from the normal earthquakes occurring in the nearby region is also investigated. Additionally, the case of Lake Mead, USA, where the first artificial water reservoir triggered was identified way back in 1939 accepted is reviewed. The case of debated 2008 Sichuan, China earthquake of 2008, Mw 7.9, whether it was triggered due to filling of the nearby Zipingpu Reservoir, is presented. The chapter would also include geological information of the Sichuan region.

摘要

In this chapter the five sites, namely Hsinfengkiang, China; Kariba on Zambia-Zimbabwe border; Kremasta, Greece; Koyna, India; and Polyphyto, Greece, where triggered earthquakes of magnitude 6 or more have occurred are discussed. This includes the background of earthquakes, general geology of the region, water impoundment history, and the observation and continuation of RTS. The characteristics of RTS sequences and how they differ from the normal earthquakes occurring in the nearby region is also investigated. Additionally, the case of Lake Mead, USA, where the first artificial water reservoir triggered was identified way back in 1939 accepted is reviewed. The case of debated 2008 Sichuan, China earthquake of 2008, Mw 7.9, whether it was triggered due to filling of the nearby Zipingpu Reservoir, is presented. The chapter would also include geological information of the Sichuan region.
