Risk Assessment and Early Warning System for Landslides in Himalayan Terrain
India is having the highest mountains chain on the earth, and the northward movement of the Indian plate toward china causes continuous stress on the rock geometry furnishing them friable, weak, and vulnerable to landslides. The major hydro geological hazards in these hilly ranges include landslides, and avalanches are unprecedented catastrophes that are experienced in almost all of the country. The remediation method adopted before and after landslides occurrence depends upon the characteristics of the sliding mass, which include the geologic environment and geometry of the landslides. The major existing methods for the prevention and remediation of landslides comprises of construction of piles and restraining structures, modifying slope geometry, grouting rock joints and fissures, rerouting surface and underwater drainage and diverting debris/rock fall pathways, but these methods are strained by cost, landslide magnitude and frequency, and the risk pertaining to human settlements. The recent trends and developments such as landslides zonation mapping, hazards risk mapping, Landslides Early Warning System (EWS), preparation of policies related to mountains land use, and town planning are forged ahead of the existing practices and have positive effects on the cost and societal benefits.
