Last September, when her auction came to light, she had received bids up to £162,000 ($243,000) but since then interest in her has rocketed. A student who is auctioning her virginity to pay for a masters degree in Family and Marriage therapy has seen bidding hit £2.5million ($3.7m).

He added that firm conclusions remain "premature" however. Lei Xinglin, of the China Earthquake Administration, said that the Zipingpu reservoir "clearly affected the local seismicity and it is worthwhile to study the role it played in triggering the earthquake further".
The effect was "25 times more" than a year's worth of natural stress from tectonic movement, he said.Īlthough the official government line is that its massive construction projects had nothing to do with the quake, some state researchers in Beijing have called for a full investigation. He argued that the sudden shift of a huge quantity of water into the region could have simultaneously relaxed the tension between the two sides of the fault, allowing them to move apart, and also increased the direct pressure enough to cause a violent rupture. Christian Klose, a scientist at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, said there had not been any "major seismic activity" on that fault line for millions of years. There are ten major reservoirs on the main river, 29 on its tributaries and a lot more smaller-scale reservoirs, all of which block the flow of the entire river, and are very hazardous to the local geology," he said.Īlthough Sichuan is an earthquake-prone region, many scientists were caught by surprise by the magnitude of the quake. "I not only opposed the construction of Zipingpu, but also the overdevelopment of the reservoirs on Minjiang River. Mr Fan said the government had been warned of the danger of building so many large-scale projects in a seismically active area, but that the warnings had gone unheeded. Zipingpu is only one of nearly 400 hydroelectric dams in the earthquake zone. Researchers have been denied access to seismological and geological data to examine the earthquake further. It remains a raw and emotional topic for most Chinese, and the government has been quick to quash any suggestion that Zipingpu may have been responsible for the catastrophe. The 7.9 magnitude quake struck last May and left more than five million people homeless. There have been no seismic activities greater than a magnitude seven quake along this particular seismic belt before."
"This earthquake was very unusual for this area.
"There have been many cases in which a water reservoir has triggered an earthquake," said Mr Fan. Now scientists in China and the United States believe the weight of water, and the effect of it penetrating into the rock, could have affected the pressure on the fault line underneath, possibly unleashing a chain of ruptures that led to the quake.įan Xiao, the chief engineer of the Sichuan Geology and Mineral Bureau in Chengdu, said it was "very likely" that the construction and filling of the reservoir in 2004 had led to the disaster. The 511ft-high Zipingpu dam holds 315 million tonnes of water and lies just 550 yards from the fault line, and three miles from the epicentre, of the Sichuan earthquake.

To push data back to your Active Collab, use our API (webhooks can only take data from Active Collab). But you can get real-time data from your Active Collab via webhooks so 3rd party apps can use that data and do whatever you want (including making complex time reports).
