title: EXPOSING THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF DAM- INDUCED EARTHQUAKES
creator: nn, nn
subject: Reservoir impoundment
subject: Method and procesing
description: Besides posing a major risk to dams, scientists are increasingly certain that earthquakes can be triggered by the dams themselves. Globally, scientists believe that there are over 100 instances, strewn over six continents, of dam reservoirs inducing earthquakes. The most serious case could be the magnitude-7.9 Sichuan earthquake in China in May 2008, which some experts believe may have been induced by the Zipingpu Dam.
