Three Gorges Reservoir Landslide Stability Threatens Nearby Communities
The Woshaxi landslide near the Three Gorges reservoir was studied to understand how it deforms and evolves in stability during the initial filling of the reservoir. The researchers looked at data from monitoring and surveys to figure out what causes the landslide to change shape and how it responds to changes in water levels and rainfall. They found that the Woshaxi landslide, which is close to another landslide, can be affected by a combination of factors like rainfall and reservoir water levels. This study helps us understand how landslides in the area behave when the reservoir is filled, which can be important for managing risks in the region.
