Reservoir water level fluctuations can trigger landslides, posing danger to communities.
A study looked at how a landslide in a reservoir area could be affected by changes in the water level. By doing physical tests, they found that the movement of the landslide can be influenced by the pressure from the water. When the water level drops, the landslide moves more. Groundwater can make landslides less stable. It's important to watch out for the front edge of the landslide when the water level changes. This information can help manage water levels in reservoirs to prevent landslides.
