A STUDY ON FACTORS INFLUENCING LANDSLIDES IN NILGIRIS, TAMILNADU, INDIA
-
Description
-
The study explores the factors contributing to landslides in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India, a region prone to such natural hazards due to heavy rainfall from monsoons and its steep topography. It identifies both natural causes, like high rainfall intensity and soil characteristics, and human-induced factors, such as deforestation and urban development, as significant contributors to landslides. The research aims to develop effective mitigation strategies by analyzing watershed characteristics, particularly in the Kattery watershed, which exemplifies the area's complex interplay of factors influencing landslide occurrences.
