Rock-soil slopes prone to landslides due to water seepage risk
Catchments with shallow soil and deep stony layers have low stability compared to regular slopes. The study looked at how rainfall, soil water movement, and seepage affect slope stability. Results showed that heavy rainfall can create a saturated zone near the surface, softening the slope and causing sliding. This can lead to landslides. To prevent this, draining the saturated water can reduce the risk of landslides on slopes.
