Landslide Prevention Methods

 Landslide Prevention Methods :-   


Landslide when we talk is causes heavy damages to that particular location where it occurs.

It causes damages to earth profile , it causes damages to the vegetation and human and animal living in that particular location.



Landslide Prevention Methods.

Provide Gabion Walls to check sliding.

Keeping in view the losses there must be an effort to control these landslides so that the land as well as lives could be saved.

Some Preventive measures can be done which are as follows:-

The landslides  prevention technology mainly focus on stabilization of soil slopes and reducing water  and water flow management in the landslide prone areas.
We can take the following methods in practice.

Improvement of Drainage system :R

Drainage is the main factor which contributes much  for the happening of Landslides.

Water flow must be divided into small Chanels so that it may not fall in one  place causing damage to the soil structure.


Proper drainage can reduce the risk of slides 


It must be ensured that the water saturation must be reduced  , because only  fully saturation of soil is more prone to sliding.
Further velocity of water if more it causes heavy damages to the earth 's structure of it is smooth it doesn't  erode the soil.

The water seepage must be checked from time to time avoiding saturation of soil.

Reinforcement of Soil Slopes :- 

The soil slopes must be reinforced by construction of retaining walls of safe design , Gabion Walls etc.  Proper weep holes must be provided in concrete and masonry retaining walls .






These structures provide  check to sliding.

Modifications of Slopes :-


Modifications of Slopes can reduce the risk of slides. 
Flat terrain break down the currents of water thus erosion is reduced and proper drainage can be managed.

Plantation of Trees :-


Plantation is very essential to reduce the Soil erosion because the roots of trees firmly hod the soil hence check the soil erosion. The foliage also hold the rain water on the leaves from where it again gets evaporated thus reducing bloods .



Plantation reduce soil erosion 

So it is very important that we must check the the drainage system around and in every locality before every rainy season . Identify  the shortcomings in drainage system around the locality and take remedial measures well in advance. Government must sanction appropriate budget against flood control to every village in hilly areas to Gram Panchayats.
