Earthquakes and seismic safety of waterworks facilities in the Central Asian region

Abstract Central Asian region is an earthquake prone zone. At water management engineering, one of the central and great role play dams, water supply systems, etc. The seismic safety of these objects has great importance. In areas subject to seismic effect, the cases were observed when such structures were significantly damaged, and in some cases even destroyed. It leads to the long-term shutdown of the main water supply systems and it causing great material losses. The main aim of the issue is an analysis of the effects of strong earthquakes for waterworks facilities, proposing measures that are necessary for the urgent determination of the technical condition of an operating structure and the development of recommendations for further safe operation. There were considered lessons from past events also and strategies for sustainable development in the future by taking into account local features.
