（单词翻译:单击）

Chinanews, Yichang, September 26 – The Three Gorges1 Dam has stored water to 156-meter level since 22:00 on September 20. China Three Gorges Project Corporation, the major builder of the dam, said earthquakes in the reservoir region could be detected.

 

In the first phases of the project, many minor2 earthquakes occurred in the region, the biggest one being magnitude 2.1 on Richter Scale. All these earthquakes were the natural reaction to the project, and did no harm to the dam.

 

In order to get a better monitor over earthquakes in the reservoir region, an advanced earthquake monitor system will be put in place here, and scientists believe that earthquakes in the future in the region will remain harmless.

 

However, with the water rising, there will surely be more and stronger earthquakes.
