Unstable slopes in Southern Ethiopia pose serious landslide threat.
The study looked at why landslides happen and how to prevent them in a specific area in Southern Ethiopia. They tested the strength of different slopes and found that some were more stable than others. One slope was slightly stable when dry, while another was unstable. They also rated the quality of the rock in the slopes, with some being very stable and others having stability concerns. The researchers used different methods to calculate the safety of the slopes and found varying results depending on the groundwater level.
