Joint geomorphological and geophysical (electrical resistivity) investigation for the configuration of soil pipe

Soil piping is a complex mechanism of subsurface soil erosion, which results underground conduits (cave/tunnel) varying dimensions. associates with severe consequences, such as land subsidence and slide. Therefore, the investigation pipe crucial. However, study challenging unless characteristic surficial evidences are available. Based on evidences, can be configured geophysical techniques in-turn aid in designing precursory measures. present study, we carried out combined geomorphological to configure at Kinanoor village, Kasaragod, Kerala, India. vital information, resistivity survey an diameter ∼6.5 7 m that seated ∼3 beneath surface. This hollow underlain by only accessible road locality makes vulnerable for transportation. bridge like structure recommended construct location stabilize risk factor. Since area situated fringe-slope, points disturbance natural course drainage system accumulation water up-slope due man-made activities might act potential causes area. it suggested not disturb may lead future.
