RAINFALL VS LANDSLIDE STUDY IN NILGIRI DISTRICT, TAMILNADU, SOUTH INDIA
-
Description
-
The study investigates the relationship between rainfall and landslides in the Nilgiri district of Tamil Nadu, India, over a decade from 2003 to 2012. It identifies a significant correlation, indicating that heavy rainfall, particularly during the Northeast Monsoon, is a primary trigger for landslides, notably in the Coonoor and Wellington regions. Using GIS to analyze rainfall data and landslide occurrences, the research establishes that areas with higher rainfall experience more landslides, while moderate rainfall areas also face risks. The findings highlight the necessity for effective land management and disaster preparedness in this hilly terrain.
