Lake_of_Pietra_del_Pertusillo
Lago di Pietra del Pertusillo is an artificial lake in the Province of Potenza, Basilicata, Italy. At an elevation of 532 m, its catchment basin area is 630 km2, while the lake itself has an area of 7.5 km2.
Because of water table oscillations in the region and other local effects, it has been documented that the artificial lake has affected regional tectonics and has increased the magnitude of microearthquakes.[1] The critically stressed Monti della Maddalena faults become triggered by small-to-moderate magnitude reservoir-induced seismicity.
