- W2510165916 abstract "The Gibe III dam is located near the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER), the seismically active northern arm of the East African Rift (EAR), which is capable of producing large magnitude, destructive earthquakes. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Regional Office for Central and East Africa estimates there is a 20 % risk of 7 or 8 magnitude earthquakes occurring within the next 50 years in the MER. Earthquakes of these magnitudes pose significant threat to dams, through direct collapse or landslides triggering collapse. Collapse of the Gibe III dam would result in catastrophic loss of human life, livestock, wildlife and environments in the downstream riverine and Lake Turkana regions, exceeding the worst known dam failure in history—the Vaiont disaster in Italy. Even more moderate seismic events, combined with highly probable major landslides, sediment buildup and pressure from impounded water behind the dam threaten dam stability. The GOE discounts the seismic danger to the planned Gibe III dam, ignoring key geological information. The international development banks and bilateral agencies engaged with feasibility and impact studies as well as funding of the project—directly and indirectly—also ignore available data pointing to major seismic risk." @default.
