Impact Assessment of Hydrologic Attributes and Slope Instability - Semi-quantitative Approaches for Landslide Assessment and Prediction - page 118

LPI of 76.56 and that of 10 Km 2 and more experiences the LPI of 100. The study on
basin geometry states that sub-basin 1 and 5 are more ef cient in drainage and more

susceptible to soil erosion and slope instability.
