you can see examples of this, starting from scientists warning about increased water weight seen by the three gorges dam, and another, chinese, dam that cause a lot of damage from my understanding

there was studies 'started', from my understanding, around 07 but not so sure what happened to those.. chinese quake hit in 08 and that's a direct example of what i am talking about
