Is there any relation between dam and earthquake? explain

Answered by admin @ 16/08/2021

✨hey mate!✨

Dams by itself do not cause any earthquake. The purpose of any dam is to impound the flowing water. This leads to formation of reservoir in which a large portion of land is submerged along with the river course on which the dam is made. This leads to increase in the pore-water-pressure of that area. If ther happens to be any known fault plane in the reservoir area, this sudden increase in pore-water-pressure may lead to increase seepage in the subsurface and eventual low of water along the fault-plane. In this worst-cenario this may lead to triggerring a slip on that fault plane due to lubricant action of water-flow. This is called reservoir-induced earthquake.
so, from the above information we can conclude that there is a relation between dams and earthquake!

hope it is helpful!✌️
