“…The influence of reservoir impoundment on seismicity is complex, depending on the reservoir operation, regional geologic and tectonic settings, and hydro‐mechanical characteristics of rock masses (Gupta, 2002). Since the first case of Lake Mead in the late 1930s (Carder, 1945), there have been numerous reservoirs that are associated with triggered seismicity (do Nascimento et al., 2005; El Hariri et al., 2010; Ge et al., 2009; Gupta, 1992, 2002; Lamontagne et al., 2006; Stabile et al., 2014; Zhang et al., 2018). The physical mechanisms of increased seismicity pertinent to reservoir impoundment have been extensively studied (Gupta, 1985; Ruiz‐Barajas et al., 2019; Simpson, 1976; Talwani & Acree, 1984; Talwani, 1997), and generally can be attributed to the pore pressure diffusion and the reservoir gravitational loading (Bell & Nur, 1978; Simpson et al., 1988).…”
