WEI Yong-ming~1, LIN Qi-zhong~1, WANG Xue-chao~2, et al. Remote Sensing Studies on Active Faults in the Western South-North Water Transfer Project Area in China[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 2005, (5): 616-622. DOI: 10.11834/jrs.20050590.
According to the interpretation marks of active faults
about 200 faults were interpreted
which strike northwest
northeast
south-north and east-west respectively. Northwest-trending faults have the largest scale and regional feature
controlling the development of landforms and water systems in the Project Area. Among them
22 faults have relatively larger effects on water transfer project. Through the field observation
it has been shown that there are 5 active faults in Holecene and 12 huge active faults in later Quaternary. However
it has been discovered by synthetical analyses that these active faults don’t have critical threat on the water transfer project because of long distance from the water transfer project or not passing through it or other factors. In summary
the water transfer project will be stable relatively through active faults analysis.
