The Tumenzi landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area is experiencing ongoing deformation since 1992, causing damage to nearby roads and houses. The landslide is currently in a state of creep deformation with some sliding, mainly triggered by heavy rainfall. The continuous heavy rain pushes the landslide to the brink of collapse, posing a risk of complete failure along multiple shear openings.
