本文就5.12汶川大地震后国内外提出和关注的有关高坝大库是否可能引发地震的问题进行了探讨,阐明了作者们对水库地震的认识和观点,并论证了汶川大地震与紫坪铺和三峡工程蓄水无关,以供进一步讨论。

Focusing on the issues of whether high dam and huge reservoir could trigger strong earthquake, which are concerned worldwide recently, the relationship between reservoir impounding and reservoir earthquakes was discussed.
