A large area is undergoing slow, downward movement of slope forming material. The movement is caused by shear stress produced by thick overburden on a 30o-35o slope angle, which when gets super saturated during heavy rainfall leads to loss of cohesion an

1. Concrete retaining wall should be constructed along the nala section to prevent erosion.
2. Retaining wall to be constructed strategically at the top of the slope, mid slope or at the toe or combination of two or more retaining wall.
3. Terracing of s
The overburden material is very thick (>5m) which exceeds the bearing strength of the slope; hence slope has reached the point of failure. During heavy precipitation the loose material gets saturated leading to loss of cohesion.
