Instability of Slopes: Serious Hazard In Goa by Nandkumar Kamat
LANDSLIDES like the one obstructing the road at Porvorim are caused by slope instabilities. A landslide includes all kinds of mass movements on hill slopes that can affect the safety of human settlements, building services or infra-structures. The Porvorim landslide was largely caused by degradation induced by humans and partly caused by high rainfall. The landscape can be considered in equilibrium with the regular meteorological conditions, drastic modifications of the landscape, such as natural hazard phenomena, can thus be linked to extraordinary circumstances. |
