Аnnotation: The characteristics of seismicity in the vicinities of five large reservoirs and three largest waterfalls in various regions of the Earth are considered. It has been established that in some cases the seismicity induced by reservoir filling occur at great enough depths in the lower crust and even uppermost mantle. A negative correlation of the largest magnitudes of the earthquakes ( M
