N2  - A model  of induced seismicity is proposed which considers the creation of a reservoir as a new source of infiltrations. It is suggested that an unsteady flow increases hydraulic pressure in the rock mass, and induces failure by creating a hammer-like water pressure at the some of the better known cases of reservoir-associated earthquakes. It is pointed out that the proposed model might assist in the detection of geological conditions likely to trigger induced activity. 
The potential social and economic impact of seismic activity in populated areas makes the study and control earthquakes an important scientific priority. Although the art of earthquake prediction is still in its infancy, the discovery that human actions may trigger serious earthquakes has provided an opportunity to increase our knowledge of seismic events.
