The ferries on the Koyna Lake are an enjoyable way of approaching the forts on its western edge.
The famous wildlife sanctuary in this area, The Koyna wildlife sanctuary includes the eastern and western catchments of the Koyna dam-reservoir, which is a major hydroelectric project centre in western Maharashtra.
Kusala Rajendran and C. Harish at the Center for Earth Science in Thiruvananthapuram claim that the spatial and temporal patterns of the recurring earthquakes in Koyna region suggest the possibility of the fault zone becoming further unstable, progressively lowering the stress needed to trigger an earthquake.
Their conclusion is based on analysis of earthquakes that had occurred in the region since Koyna experienced the first earthquake in 1967 five years after water was impounded in the reservoir.
According to the geologists, the ongoing seismicity at Koyna suggests that the annual loading cycles in the reservoir, that was impounded in 1962, continue to influence the overall stability of the region.
