reservoir-induced seismicity

I caught part of a program about the Zambezi River on PBS Television the other night.
During the 1950s, the Kariba Dam was constructed along the river, and a 150,000,000 acre-foot reservoir created.
And during the 5-years that it took to fill the lake, the weight of the water triggered 20-earthquakes.
I'd never heard of this.
