Itearthquakes is generally believed that the rapid filling of dams may trigger This in areas prone to Reservoir Induced Seismicity. time of effect pore implies a transient response to loading having a decay pressure to be short compared tò loading rate. Solutions of terms the diffusion equation on this phenomenon are described here in tions, the of hydraulic properties of the media. Based on empirical observa- recommendations made to control the water levels at Bhatsa and helped Srisailam in controlling reservoirs, during the initial years of filling might have mmendations are described.
