Rainfall-triggered landslides are part of a natural process of hillslope erosion that can result in catastrophic loss of life and extensive property damage in mountainous, densely populated areas. As global population expansion on or near steep hillslopes continues, the human and economic costs associated with landslides will increase. Landslide hazard mitigation strategies generally involve ha...

in semi arid area geomorphological impacts of dams are very major. dams, as man- made structures, have major impacts on river hydrology, primarly through in the timing, magnitude, and frequency of low and high flows, ultimately producing a hydrologic regime differing significantly from the pre-impoundment natural flow regime. despite the profiles of dams on river regulation for water resources ...

Landslide is one of the major natural hazards the world is facing. It happens as a result of both man-made as well as natural factors. It causes severe effects on the environment as well as for the mankind. The main triggering factors of landslide are rainfall/snowfall, tectonic activities and human activities. There are many methods adopted for controlling landslides. The study was carried out...

â â â  the study area is located in the wes of iran, the southwest part of “bisetoon” mountain, and kermanshah city. it covers an area of ~1489 km2 . landslide have been the most common natural phenomenon in the area, which usually is triggered by heavy rainfall and seismic activities. although there are few active landslides in the area, but they are serious threats for population and infr...

introduction a landslide or landslip is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of ground movement, such as rock falls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. although the action of gravity is the primary driving force for a landslide to occur, there are other contributing factors affecting the original slope s...
