Abstract
The seismicity of the region of Kapshagai hydro-electrical station dam’s location has been analyzed. Objects of maninduced impact of continuous nature located under the zone of direct impact from the vibrations of turbine motors of hydro-electrical station and pit explosions. Based on a number of earthquakes before and after the filling up of the water reservoir in 1970 as well as on the increase of the share of medium earthquakes in 2011–2018, a conclusion is made on the increasing man-induced seismicity. The attention is drawn to the location of the water reservoir directly on the Altyn-Emelskiy fault and the possibility of this fault’s activation during further hard man-induced impact.
