So, this is the dam that sustained damage from yesterday's earthquake? |

Right. Today, 15 May 08, soldiers are sent there to excavate a channel to release water, since the locks are blocked after the earthquake. |

Wonder if fault line, water reservoir level changes and earthquake epicentre, all in the vicinity, could be the cause/ trigger ? |

Looks to me like there must be 2 major dams, at least, covered in the major international news on this?: see also the dam above Beichuan city, capital of Beichuan region of Sichuan province, NNW of Mianyang which is NNE of Chengdu --- Beichuan coordinates are 31°50'4"N, 104°27'26"E.

Yep:
"Another landslide which blocked a river above the town of Beichuan, causing a dangerous barrier lake to form, is still being tackled by a detachment of 2,000 soldiers with dynamite and earth-moving equipment also landed by helicopter.
"The 158,000 remaining residents of the valley below have been moved to higher ground, while there are contingency plans to move 1 million more if the natural dam looks likely to burst completely.
"That would include all the population of the major city of Mianyang, home to 800,000 people and some of China's most advanced engineering facilities..."

-- the new layer Google has added here is detailed but too dark -- hope that will improve -- hope they'll improve the detail at the Beichuan dam site too. |
