Abstract
Several water reservoir loading parameters such as the rate of loading, highest water levels reached, duration of retention of high water levels and whether the previous water maxima has been exceeded or not, influence reservoir triggered seismicity (RTS) in the vicinity of Koyna and Warna reservoirs. Here we present an update in the change of these parameters and their relation with RTS in the Koyna-Warna region.
