Knowing where landslides occur is vital in many areas of our lives.
Landslides can damage roads, railways, canal embankments, and cause dams to fail. They can destroy or severely damage buildings of all types – housing, commercial or industrial property. Rivers can become blocked or diverted by sediment or rock displaced by landslides.
Landslide Susceptibility maps help us locate where a landslide is likely to occur. The likelihood is measured from Low to High.
Landslide Susceptibility maps are helpful when planning large scale infrastructure projects such as roads or wind farms. Understanding where a landslide is likely to happen will help prevent any damage to structures. This can be done by avoiding an area where a landslide can happen. A landslide is more likely to happen on steep slopes. A steep slope would be mapped as high landslide susceptibility. |
