The Usoi Dam is a natural landslide dam along the Murghab River in Tajikistan. At 567 metres (1,860 ft) high, it is the tallest dam in the world, either natural or man-made. The dam was created on 18 February 1911, when the 7.4-M s Sarez earthquake caused a massive landslide that blocked the flow of the river. [1]

In 1911, a 2-km 3 (0.5-mi 3) earthquake-triggered rock slide blocked the Murgab River, southeastern Tajikistan, forming a still-existing, 600-m-high (1,970-ft-high) natural dam—the highest dam, natural or man-made, in the world.

2016年1月1日 · On February 18, 1911, a strong earthquake in Pamirs (Tajikistan) caused a catastrophic failure of about 2.2 km 3 (six billion tons) of rock (Figure 1) and resulted in the formation of the Usoi landslide dam named after the small village buried by the landslide. Fifty eight inhabitants lost their lives in this event.

The Usoi dam was created in the winter of 1911 after an earthquake caused a rock slide that completely blocked the valley of the Bartang River in the Pamir Mountains of southeastern Tajikistan. At present the dam impounds 17 million cubic meters of water in Lake Sarez.

2010年11月25日 · The Usoi blockage, 2.2 km 3 in volume formed a World-highest natural dam and the Lake Sarez containing about 16 km 3 of water can pose a threat to the downstream Bartang – Pianj – Amu-Daria River valleys. Different view-points on the dams’ stability exist.
