Overview of the Characteristics of Reservoir-triggered Seismic Activity at Some Hydropower Reservoirs in Vietnam

Abstract: In this paper, the authors present the expression of triggered earthquakes at some hydropower reservoirs in Vietnam. The results indicate that: (1) The triggered earthquakes of magnitude M > 4.0 have occurred at the Hoa Binh, Song Tranh 2 and Son La hydropower reservoirs. All these reservoirs are more than 90 m deep and located on gneiss, granite or limestone rocks; (2) Triggered earthquakes at the Hoa Binh, Song Tranh 2 and Son La hydropower reservoirs are the rapid ones. The earthquake frequency has close ti… Show more

“…A final hazard with increasing attention in Vietnam relates to the potential for large reservoirs to induce seismic activities through the interaction of changing water levels and natural seismic processes in the area. Although not conclusive, some research suggests that small earthquakes occurring in the vicinity of some HPFs may have been triggered by periodic loading-unloading of reservoir water, for example at the Sông Tranh 2 and Sơn La HPFs [131,132].…”
