Research on landslide hazard
Post Report
KATHMANDU, Aug 1 – A research is being carried out to
better define landslide hazard and risk assessment methods in remote mountain regions by
the Department for International Development (DFID).
The project, in the next two years, will produce a set of
guidelines for rural access planning and land management with the long-term aim to
mitigate the impact of landslides on rural roads, states the DFID.
The study is now being carried out in Arghakhanchi and
Baglung districts and also in Ilam after the results of the current two districts are
known. It will also identify landslide hazards, route alignment planning and field mapping
techniques, the DFID adds.
