Earthquakes and Dams
The killer quake in Gujarat should send a note of caution to the governments of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra about a possible breach of the Koyna dam which has been developing cracks due to a string of tremors since 1967, according to noted environmentalist T Shivaji Rao. ... Prof Rao said Koyna was subjected to reservoir-induced seismicity and the recent tremors caused serious cracks in excess of the limits. Due to lack of adequate knowlede on seismic potential of the pertinent locations, most of the dams in the country were under-designed, and ``even Sardar Sarovar project is no exception.'' ... |

This is essential reading for all interested in knowing the truth, which remains clouded behind the heated controversy over the Narmada debate.
