 EARTHQUAKE AND LAKE LEVELS AT OROVILLE, CALIFORNIA
The first factor is the proximity of the earthquake to the lake, and the extension of the causative fault to the lake as indicated by geologic, seismologic, and geodetic data (Department of Water Resources, 1979).
The earthquake occurrence at Oroville, following the largest seasonal fluctuation in lake level, is very similar to the M 6.5 earthquake occurrence at Koyna, India, which also followed the largest seasonal fluctuation of that lake in 1967.
Seismic monitoring at Oroville since 1975 shows that the local seismicity decreases as the lake fills during winter and spring, and that the strongest earthquakes occur as the lake empties during summer and fall.
