Conference Paper Description

When moderate to major earthquakes, usually of magnitude more than or equal to 6. 0 on Richter Scale, occur in catchment area of river, additional amount of geological materials is generated, which is called as Seismosediments and the process is known as Seismosedimentation. River flow mechanism carries it down to reservoir. This amount of seismosediment is quantified by a mathematical relation. A specific case of seismosedimentation with reference to sediments in Bhakra reservoir has been discussed. It is observed that seismosedimentation could reduce the economic life of reservoir and adversely affects the utility of reservoir. Re-examination of lives of large reservoirs in active seismic zones is recommended.
