Si. Golenetskii, PROBLEM OF THE INDUCED SEISMICITY IN THE AREA OF THE IRKUTSK WATER RESERVOIR AT THE SOUTHWESTERN ENDING OF LAKE-BAIKAL, Geologia i geofizika, 38(10), 1997, pp. 1692-1698
On the basis of seismic observations in the second half of the 20th ce
ntury, seismicity of the area of the Irkutsk water reservoir at the An
gara River, filled in 1956-59, has been analyzed. It is shown that the
sources of few recorded seismic events are explosions performed in th
e day-time with an engineering goal. Only few of these events are poss
ibly small natural earthquakes reflecting very weak seismic activity i
n this part of the Siberian Platform. There are no groungs to consider
these earthquakes induced by water reservoir filling.
