Sarez Lake in central Tajikistan is a potential powder keg. It was formed due to an earthquake in the Pamir Mountains in 1911, which also created a natural dam, the Usoi Dam. Since the lake holds more than 17 billion cubic meters of water, there are fears that if another quake hits the area, the dam will burst and the homes of millions of people in Tajikistan and neighboring countries will be flooded.
