Question

what are the various ways of mitigation of landslides

Answer 1

Landslides can be triggered by many, sometimes concomitant causes. In addition to shallow erosion or reduction of shear strength caused by seasonal rainfall, landslides may be triggered by anthropic activities, such as adding excessive weight above the slope, digging at mid-slope or at the foot of the slope.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Advancement in scientific techniques has empowered us to understand what factors cause landslides and how to manage them. Some broad mitigation techniques of landslides are as follows:

1. Hazard mapping to locate areas prone to landslides. Hence, such areas can be avoided for building settlements.

2. Construction of retention wall to drop land from slipping.

3. Increase in the vegetation cover to arrest landslide.

4. The surface drainage control works to control the movement of landslide along with rain water and spring flows.
