Abstract：Situated in the north-east of the Tibet plateau where neo-tectonic activity is violent, the west-line project of water diversion from the upper Yangtze River into the upper Yellow River is to divert water by means of long deep-lying tunnels cut across the Bayanhar mountain. The main geological hazards in the project region include the damages from active faults and earthquakes, destructiveness of frozen ground, high ground stress and rock blasting, geo-temperature anomaly, and bank deformation in the reservoir. The most serious geological hazards are the fault activities and earthquakes. This paper discusses the major features and destructive forms caused by the hazards, and presents some measures to deal with these geological hazards.
