British Columbia has a network of Dams in Columbia river valley to generate electricity. During the filling of the reservoir of Mica Creek Dam notable seismicity was experienced (magnitude 4-5 on Richter scale). The reservoir induced seismicity at the location can be very helpful in ascertaining the behavior of seismicity related to impounding of reservoirs.

This project is pending due to lack of financial backing.
