Microgravity Surveys for Evaluation of Elevation Changes Due to Reservoir Impoundment
Publication: Journal of the Geotechnical Engineering Division
Volume 107, Issue 3
Abstract
One of the primary observable effects of the impoundment of large reservoirs is the deflection of the earth's surface, presumably due to the imposed load. For small reservoirs, elevation changes may be immeasurably small, while for large reservoirs, elevation changes are easily observed. Also associated with reservoir filling (as well as with subsequent seasonal changes in reservoir level) are changes in ground-water levels in permeable formations in the vicinity of the reservoir.
