In recent years, a large number of hydropower stations have been built in various places. Will water storage in the power station reservoir area cause changes in the groundwater system, thus causing geological disasters? In recent years, a large number of hydropower stations have been built in various parts of China. Will water storage in the power station reservoir area cause changes in the groundwater system, thus causing geological disasters?

Yes, your idea is correct,

Water storage in power station reservoir area will cause changes in groundwater system, which will lead to geological disasters. Such as landslides, land subsidence and even earthquakes.

Therefore, before the reservoir is built, it must be carefully explored, drilled and designed. After the reservoir is completed, it is necessary to constantly monitor the changes of strata in the nearby areas to prevent disasters.
