Filling of Ramganga reservoir, Kalagarh, U.P., India and its possible influence on seismic activity

SCHOOL OF RESEARCH AND TRAINING IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF ROORKEE, ROORKEE. U.P., India

Abstract

The construction of a 125-m-high earth-and-rock-fill dam across the river Ramganga near Kalagarh was completed in early 1974. Its reservoir with a capacity of 2.49 x 10⁹ m³ was partially filled during the 1974 summer monsoon. A detailed seismicity study has been made using the data from 2 month's microearthquake recording to determine the possible effect of reservoir filling. No interrelationship of seismic activity and reservoir filling has been found.
