The Barrier Lakes created during the Wenchuan Earthquake and its disaster mitigation works
The Ms 8.0 earthquake that hit Wenchuan on May 12, 2008 caused a number of barrier lakes threatening lives and properties in the downstream. The early reported 34 lakes in the quake-hit area are scattered within a distance of 15 km to the central fault of the Longmenshan Fault Zone. These lakes are distributed along the faults. Emergency measures have been taken to the lakes with high risks. This paper reports the background, environment, damming structure, countermeasures, and its effects with particular interest to the Tangjiashan and Xiaogangjian barrier lakes. Finally, problems for future study are commented
