The Koyna earthquake ( magnitude 6.5) occurred on December 11, 1967 near Koyna Dam in a region of India which was considered to be stable and nearly nonseismic.That the epicentre was located in the vicinity of the Koyna dam gave rise to speculation that the reservoir was the sole cause of the earthquake. The Theory of Resorvoir induced Sesmic activity is still in debate and not proven in one way or other. Can anybody shed some light on this subject?
